EASY & CONVENIENT GEELY TIMING BELT REPLACEMENT IN MANCHESTER

What does a timing belt do?

The timing belt also referred to as a cambelt, is one of the most critical components of your Geely ’s engine module. The ribbed rubber design of the belt ensures that the top and bottom of your engine is synchronized and rotates correctly. 

As a result, the timing belt plays a vital role in ensuring that the engine motor runs smoothly. Timing chains are also used to carry out the same functions as a timing belt.

Getting a timing chain replacement also works in the same manner as a timing belt replacement. However, timing chains typically last as long as the rest of the vehicle and don’t require frequent replacing. 

What are the symptoms of a bad timing belt?

Since the timing belt is not readily visible, you may not always pay close attention to it. It can be located under the timing cover at the front of the engine. Despite typically being made from high-quality rubber, it has to be replaced when worn out. 

While you don’t always have to prop the hood open and physically inspect the belt, there are particular symptoms to look out for that usually indicate that the belt needs to be replaced. 

Your car’s engine does not ignite

If your timing belt is damaged, the engine will be unable to turn over and ignite. It typically occurs when you turn the key to find that while the starter motor is engaged, the engine won’t ignite. 

A ticking noise emanates from the engine

As the timing belt starts to wear out, it generates a ticking sound from inside the engine motor. However, this symptom could also be a sign that the engine does not have proper oil pressure, or requires lubrication. 

There’s an oil leak in the engine motor

There are instances where some engine oil may leak from the timing belt cover. The timing belt cover is typically secured by various nuts and bolts that may dislodge over some time. If you observe such an oil leak, the entire contraption must be closely inspected, and the timing belt must be replaced if required. 

If you experience a case of engine misfiring

A timing belt that’s at the end of its life could impact the engine’s firing rate. Since it’s connected to the pulleys that work the crank and camshaft, a weak timing belt causes engine misfires.
