Signs of a Worn Timing Belt

Many vehicles use a timing belt, but some use other methods such as a timing chain. The timing belt controls the camshaft and crankshaft in your engine, which controls when the valves open and close. When it breaks, the internal combustion process doesn’t work, leaving you with a no start condition. A broken timing belt can also damage other parts of your engine, such as the valves, pistons, or water pump. This is why it’s best to replace it before it breaks if possible.

So how do you know when your timing belt is wearing out? Because it is usually made of rubber and experiences extreme conditions often, it will eventually need to be replaced. It’s hard to tell when the timing belt is wearing out, but a good rule is to check on it after 60,000 miles or seven years. You can also watch for the following signs that you may have a worn or broken timing belt:

  • Engine misfires
  • Engine won’t turn over
  • No start
  • Oil leaking
  • Ticking noise from the engine

If your car has a timing belt, check with the manufacturer to determine its lifespan. Keep an eye out for these warning signs to try and avoid serious problems down the road.
