Drive
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.
AFS recommend the camshaft drive
belt, tensioner and guide rollers 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 36,000 to
100,000 miles or from 3 to 10 years (which ever comes first). If you are still
unsure, then contact us for advice
Serpentine V belts, more commonly know 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
