How Many Kilometers Should a Car's Timing Belt Be Replaced?

[FinnDella]

Car timing belts should be replaced approximately every 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Situations requiring timing belt replacement include: 1. The car lacks power and struggles to accelerate when climbing hills; 2. The engine shakes severely at idle; 3. The exhaust pipe makes a popping sound when accelerating; 4. There is a knocking sound inside the engine when starting; 5. Cracks or wear appear on the timing belt. The car timing belt is a crucial component of the engine's valve system, made of rubber. Its function is to ensure the accuracy of intake and exhaust timing, synchronize the engine's ignition with cylinder movement, and maintain smooth power output from the engine.
