Timing belts are an essential part of your vehicle and not replacing them upon the manufacturer’s recommended guidelines can result in serious damage to your vehicle’s engine. At Dublin Automotive Services, we are keen to help you avoid huge repair bills cause by timing belt failure.

Unlike gearboxes and clutches where problems can be diagnosed, cam belts naturally wear and require replacement over a certain time frame or mileage interval. However, each car manufacturer will recommend different intervals for different models, and many drivers are unaware that this component requires maintenance, let alone the recommended replacement requirements for their vehicle.

Failure to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines can lead to costly damage, so we recommend that you request an inspection of your cam belt upon your next car service. Finding out when your cam belt should be changed is easier than having your brakes checked but can result in far more expensive faults if it is overlooked.

It is important to have your cam belt replacement and to not exceed the recommended replacement times. Dublin Automotive will be able to advise on the intervals at which your cam belt should be replaced and help you to budget for this. The cost of a cam belt replacement is incomparable to that of repair work when a cam belt fails. Our Service adviser will be happy to advise you on cam belt interval replacements.
