Timing belt replacement in Torremolinos
A timing belt gives no warning before it snaps, and if it does it can damage the engine. That's why it's replaced by mileage or by time, as the manufacturer specifies.

Frequently asked questions
How often should the timing belt be replaced?
The manufacturer sets it for each engine, in miles or kilometres and in years, whichever comes first. Call us with the model, year and engine and we'll confirm it.
What happens if the timing belt snaps?
In many engines, if the belt snaps the valves hit the pistons and the damage is serious. That's why it's better to replace it in time.
Does my car have a timing belt or a timing chain?
It depends on the engine. Call us with the make, model, year and engine and we'll tell you.
What else is replaced with the belt?
Usually the kit the manufacturer specifies for that engine, which normally includes tensioners and pulleys. We explain what your case involves before we start.
