Tips & tricks
Cambelts typically need to be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, but you should check your vehicle’s manufacturer recommendations.
Failure to replace the cambelt as recommended can lead to severe engine damage, such as bent valves, damaged pistons, or even a complete engine failure.
Common signs include unusual engine noise, misfires, difficulty starting, and visible wear on the cambelt. Regular inspections by a professional can help identify issues early.
It’s not advisable to drive with a worn cambelt, as it can lead to further engine damage. If you suspect issues, have your vehicle inspected and serviced immediately.
