Timing Belts....
Camshaft drive belt, also known as timing belt, do break and
they can cause serious engine damage. Camshaft drive belt technology has got
better with a more durable material such as Highly Saturated Nitrile (HSN). For
this reason camshaft drive belts should last until the manufacturers
recommended mileage change. It is usually something else that causes it to fail
prematurely, ie: water pump failure, guide pulley, belt tensioner, oil or
antifreeze contamination

Timing Belt Kit
Replace at manufacturers
recommended interval
Many vehicles
are now being fitted with timing chains, normally these do not require
replacing during the life of the vehicle |
AFS recommend the camshaft drive belt, tensioner, guide rollers
and water pump all be replaced at the same time (camshaft drive belt kit) to
prevent any future problems
Please refer to your manufacturers handbook as
camshaft drive belt intervals can vary from 40,000 to 100,000 miles or from 48
to 120 months (which ever comes first). If you are still unsure, then contact
us for advice
Auxiliary drive
belts, more commonly known as your alternator or fan belt, are now very common
on most vehicles. These belts drive your alternator, power steering, water pump
and air conditioning. If your belt breaks it will not cause any damage to your
engine so long as you stop driving. If you can see radial cracks across the
belt then have it changed at your next service
