Understanding the Importance of the Timing Belt in Your Mazda MX-5

If you experience any of these issues, it is crucial to inspect your timing belt and consider a replacement.

When selecting a new timing belt for your Mazda MX-5, it's important to choose one that meets or exceeds the manufacturer's specifications.

Timing Belts

Here at GSF Car Parts, we have a range of timing belts to ensure your car’s engine works to its optimum performance. We have many options for different makes and models — simply enter your registration number into the box to find the right one for your vehicle. 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.
