As a vehicle owner, you know the importance of keeping your car running smoothly. Yet, one component that often gets overlooked until it’s too late is the cambelt. This seemingly small part plays a crucial role in the engine’s operation, and neglecting its maintenance can lead to costly repairs and even engine failure.
The Role of the Cambelt
At Moreleta Service Centre, we understand the significance of the cambelt in your vehicle’s engine. Acting as the link between the crankshaft and camshaft and in some vehicles, it drives the water pump, the cambelt ensures proper timing and synchronization of engine components. Over time, the cambelt is subjected to wear and tear due to constant use and exposure to heat, friction and contaminants. When this happens, it’s vital to replace it promptly to prevent serious damage to your engine.
Signs of Cambelt Issues
How do you know if your cambelt needs replacing? All vehicle manufacturers have a recommended service interval for a cambelt replacement. This is either based on mileage or time e.g. every 100 000 km or 3 years, whichever occurs first.
Any contamination of the cambelt reduces its lifespan.
Look out for warning signs such as unusual noises coming from the engine, squealing or squeaking noises, poor engine performance, engine misfires, overheating or visible cracks on the cambelt itself. Additionally, if your vehicle has reached the manufacturer’s recommended mileage or time for cambelt replacement, it’s wise to schedule a service appointment to have it replaced with its associated components e.g. water pump, tensioner and guide pulleys.
When it comes to the topic pertaining to cambelt replacement, preventative maintenance by far surpasses rectification of a broken cambelt
