How to Identify a Timing Belt Failure?

 One of the questions that vehicle drivers wonder about the timing set, which is one of the most important parts for the healthy operation of the engine, is the solution of the problem caused by the timing belt. First of all, let's take a look at what kind of signals it gives to users in case of breakdown of this part, which is encountered as a timing chain in new generation vehicles.

In fact, we would like to point out that it would not be right to give a clear time on this issue. This set, which needs to be changed every 200 thousand km on average for the vehicles in the market with chains, can change between 60 thousand km and 100 thousand km on average for the vehicles in the market as belts. However, the point to be considered here is how long this KM will take. In other words, let's say that it is not right to have it done every 10 years just because a vehicle does 60 thousand km in 10 years. On average, it should be changed every 3-4 years. Why does the timing belt (chain) break? In fact, it is extremely easy to find a solution to this situation, which is likely to happen to all of us. In order not to face such a situation, first of all, the periodic maintenance and replacement of the timing set should be done. In other words, it should be noted that it is inevitable that the timing belt, which is not replaced, will break after it wears out over time. Among the main reasons that will cause the timing belt to break, the vehicle's excessive load is shown in the first place. If a heavily loaded vehicle does not replace the timing belt for a long time, it is inevitable that it will face this problem. The fact that the loaded vehicle will cause difficulty during gear shifts may cause the timing set to break. What are the consequences of the timing belt breaking? In this case, which should not only be seen as the break of the belt, let us state that the part that will suffer the most is the engine part of the vehicle. The fact that the parts in the engine will wear out too much will cause serious costs to you. It is possible for the engine to be seriously damaged due to the disconnection between the crankshaft and the camshaft of a vehicle with a broken timing belt. The fact that the engine part of the vehicle will create a big problem due to the friction of the valves and pistons located between these two shafts will cause serious costs to the vehicle owner. It is extremely important for the replacement of this part, if necessary, to have the timing belt replaced before the upcoming replacement, before the time comes, will help you get rid of larger expenses.
