Timing Belt & Timing Chain Replacement at Bawtry Road Service Station

Your vehicle’s timing belt or timing chain plays a vital role in keeping the engine running smoothly and efficiently. It synchronises the movement of the camshaft and crankshaft, ensuring the engine’s valves open and close at exactly the right time. If this component wears out or fails, it can cause catastrophic engine damage and costly repairs.

At Bawtry Road Service Station, we provide professional timing belt and chain inspections, maintenance, and replacements to help protect your engine and keep your vehicle running at its best.

Timing Belt vs Timing Chain – What’s the Difference?

Timing Belt: Made from reinforced rubber with high-tensile fibres, timing belts are quieter and lighter but need scheduled replacement (usually between 60,000 and 100,000 miles, or as recommended by your manufacturer).
Timing Chain: Made of metal, chains are designed to last longer and often require less frequent replacement. However, they are still subject to wear, stretching, and potential failure if not properly maintained.

Both components are critical, and neglecting them can lead to severe engine damage.

When Should You Replace a Timing Belt or Chain?

The exact replacement interval varies depending on your vehicle make and model, but signs you may need a replacement include:

Engine misfires or rough running
Difficulty starting the engine
Unusual ticking, rattling, or grinding noises from the engine bay
Oil contamination around the timing cover
Excessive smoke or performance issues

We always recommend following your vehicle manufacturer’s service schedule for replacement intervals. If you are unsure, our technicians can check your service history and advise on whether a replacement is due.
