RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT PRACTICE
Because labour makes up a large part of timing belt replacement cost, it is best practice to renew all related wear components at the same time. Replacing the belt, tensioner, idlers, water pump and drive belts together helps maintain engine reliability and reduces the risk of timing-related engine damage.
- Hydraulic tensioners
- Water pumps
- Drive and fan belts
- Engine pulleys
- Tensioner pulleys
