Timing Belt Replacement
A timely timing belt replacement protects your engine from major failure. We carry it out to the manufacturer's specification.
Timing Belt Replacement at Twin Torque Service
The timing system synchronises the crankshaft and the valves — its failure is one of the most expensive engine faults. That is why we replace it precisely, using proven parts and dedicated timing-locking tools.
Scope of work
- timing belt or chain replacement
- tensioner and guide roller replacement
- water pump replacement (recommended)
- checking belt tension and valve timing
Why not to delay
The symptoms of a worn timing system can be subtle — a quiet rattle on a cold engine or rough running. Regular replacement by mileage is the cheapest insurance for your engine.
Frequently asked questions
How often should the timing belt be replaced?
It depends on the model — belts are usually replaced every 60–120k km, and chains at the first signs of wear. We check the schedule for your car.
What happens if I replace the timing belt too late?
A snapped belt usually bends the valves and leads to an expensive head repair, so it is best not to exceed the recommended mileage.
Do you replace the water pump at the same time?
Yes. When changing the belt we recommend replacing the tensioner rollers and the water pump together — it saves on labour costs later.
