Kent Motors Cambelt Replacement. Cambelts
will naturally wear and require replacement after a set time or mileage
interval. However each car manufacturer will recommend different intervals
for different models. Failure to follow the manufacturer's guidelines
can lead to costly damage, so we recommend that you contact our highly
qualified mechanics or enquire next time you have your car serviced by
AKM. Finding out when your cambelt should be changed is easier than having
your brakes checked, but can be far more expensive if you overlook it!
What are Cambelts? Cambelts are toothed rubber or Nitrile belts that help
to maintain the timing between the camshaft and crankshaft. If you're
not too familiar with what these are, then imagine a bicycle the chain
on your bike is like the cambelt, so you would not get very far if your
chain broke! However, if you were riding your bike and your chain did
break, you would stop pedalling. A car, on the other hand won't and as
a result, the engine can become severely damaged. This is why it's so
important to replace a cambelt along the recommended guidelines. |
