Cambelt & timing belt replacement

Skipping a cambelt change is one of the costliest mistakes a driver can make. Stay ahead of it with a proper replacement from our Smethwick workshop.

Cambelt / timing belt

Why it matters

The cambelt keeps your engine's valves and pistons working in time. If it snaps, the damage is usually severe and expensive, often a whole new engine. That's why manufacturers set a replacement interval, typically by mileage or age. If you're due, or you've bought a car with no record of a change, it's worth doing. We fit a full timing belt kit with quality parts.

When to replace it

  • At your manufacturer's mileage or time interval
  • If there's no record of a previous change
  • If you hear a flapping or ticking from the belt area

What we do

  • Full timing belt kit (belt, tensioner, idlers)
  • Water pump replacement where belt-driven
  • Set correctly to manufacturer timing
