Timing Belts
Your Toyota vehicle's engine needs the moving parts moving at the right time. For instance, the camshaft and crankshaft need to operate in sync with one another in order for the valves and pistons to pump at the correct intervals. Your timing belt helps to make that happen.
Unfortunately, even the highest quality timing belt can go bad – and you often don't have much advance warning that it's happening. You see, when the reinforcing cords inside the belt grow weak and lose tensile strength, the belt itself may appear fine from a cursory visual inspection. That's why it's important to know the symptoms of a failing timing belt.
How to Spot Timing Belt Problems
Signs of a faulty timing belt include:
- Engine misfires
- Ticking noises from the engine
- Exhaust problems
- Your engine doesn't turn over
Genuine OEM Timing Belts Fit Best
Check your owner's manual for your timing belt's recommended mileage. In general, they can last up to 100,000 miles, but you'll want to replace yours before it exceeds its recommended mileage rating. The best type for your model is one made by your manufacturer for your model, since they're the only ones that are guaranteed to be compatible.
