How Many Kilometers Should a Car's Belt Be Replaced?
1 Answers
Generally, a car's belt should be replaced after traveling 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Here are the specific details about the timing belt: 1. Replacement based on specified mileage: The timing belt is a consumable item, and once it breaks, the camshaft will not operate according to the timing, which can very likely cause the valves to collide with the pistons, resulting in severe damage. Therefore, the timing belt must be replaced according to the mileage or time specified by the manufacturer. 2. Function of the timing belt: During the operation of a car engine, the four processes of intake, compression, explosion, and exhaust continuously occur in the cylinder, and the timing of each step must be coordinated with the movement state and position of the pistons to ensure that the intake, exhaust, and piston movements are synchronized. The timing belt, driven by the crankshaft, transmits power to the corresponding components.
