Your timing belt keeps the engine's internal components synchronised. If the belt becomes worn, damaged or fails, serious internal engine damage can occur.
Timing belts are normally replaced at a specified age or mileage interval depending on the vehicle and engine.
At CarsUpkeep in Bedford we carry out timing belt and cambelt replacement on a wide range of petrol and diesel vehicles.

When Should a Timing Belt Be Replaced?
Timing belt replacement intervals vary considerably between manufacturers, engines and model years.
Some vehicles specify replacement based on mileage, while others also specify an age limit. The condition of the belt can also be affected by previous servicing, oil leaks and other engine problems.

How much does a timing belt replacement cost?
Prices depend on the vehicle and engine. Our timing belt replacement prices start from around £375, with the exact price depending on the parts and labour required.
Should the water pump be replaced with the timing belt?
On many engines the water pump is driven by or accessed through the timing belt system. Where appropriate, we recommend replacing it at the same time to avoid repeating much of the labour later.
What happens if a timing belt breaks?
On many engines a failed timing belt can cause the pistons and valves to contact each other, resulting in major internal engine damage.
Is a timing belt the same as a cambelt?
Yes. Cambelt and timing belt are commonly used to describe the same component.
