Timing Belt or Cam Belt replacement is an essential part of your vehicle maintenance routine and not replacing them in accordance with the manufacturer's recommended guidelines can lead to belt failure and result in serious damage to your engine.

As the Water Pump is also driven by the Cam Belt in many cases, it's a perfect opportunity to check the gasket, efficiency and bearings of the water pump as this is the best and most cost effective time to make a repair or replacement should it be necessary.
We suggest that you ask for a visual inspection of your timing belt or cam belt for signs of wear next time your car is in for a service. If you are unsure of when the belt was last changed we suggest you get the belt checked at The Forge Garage at 35 Green Road, BH9 1DX.
