Frequently asked questions
When should the timing belt be replaced?
Commonly every 60,000-100,000 miles - check the manufacturer interval.
Should I replace the water pump too?
Usually yes; the labor overlaps, so doing both saves money later.
What happens if a timing belt breaks?
On an interference engine it can cause major internal damage, so preventive replacement matters.
