Our trusted auto partners have sourced and supplied all our timing belts.
What is a Timing Belt?
The timing belt, also known as the cam belt, is a crucial part of your engine’s function, helping the cylinder head and valves to synchronise with the pistons and crankcase so that the engine’s valves open and close at the right points. Without this timely functioning, your timing belt may begin to slip and cause severe misfires — this happens suddenly rather than gradually. If the belt snaps, it can render the whole engine useless, so it will need repairing immediately. Our handy guide shows you step-by-step how to change your timing belt
If your car has a timing chain instead, you will need to listen out for any unusual noises or cracks that could indicate it has broken. Replace your timing belt as the manufacturer’s handbook instructed, or around every 60,000 to 100,000 miles.
If your timing belt needs replacing, you might be interested in our timing belt kits which include all you’ll need to ensure your engine is functioning correctly. We also stock timing belt tensioners that will usually need to be replaced at the same time as your timing belt — these ensure your belt has enough tension to work correctly.
