The cambelt or timing belt is the rubber toothed
belt that links the crankshaft to the camshaft. It coordinates & regulates the opening of the inlet valves to optimise engine performance for both economy & power.
The VAG (Volkswagen Automotive Group) recommend that VW, Audi, Seat & Skoda engines must have their cambelt changed usually between every 60,000 to 80,000 miles or 4/5 years depending on the vehicles specification.
To find out when your cambelt interval service is due look in your service manual, or alternatively please feel free to contact us and one of our friendly staff members we will be able to tell you.
The cambelt is the hardest working component in an engine. So there for it is the most likely to wear down. If the cambelt is not regularly changed it will reduce the engine performance & can further lead to major engine rebuilds if it fails..........that could cost you ££££ thousands.
