How many kilometers does a car engine belt need to be replaced?
1 Answers
The belt in the car engine needs to be replaced every 70,000-80,000 kilometers. Belt lifespan: The lifespan of a belt is generally around 80,000-100,000 kilometers, and it should be replaced according to the vehicle maintenance manual instructions. Belts are automotive consumables, made of rubber, and will age over time. The belt connects the camshaft and crankshaft, controlling the opening and closing of valves and the rotation of the crankshaft as well as the up-and-down movement of pistons. Belt breakage: If the belt breaks, the timing of valve opening and closing will be incorrect, and the timing of piston movement will also be off. This can cause the valves and pistons to collide, leading to damage to both components. As a result, the engine will stop working and require major repairs.
