How Often Should a Vehicle's Timing Belt Be Replaced?

[EmmaLynn]

The timing belt should be replaced every six years or after the vehicle has traveled 100,000 kilometers. Below is relevant information regarding the vehicle's timing belt: Precautions for replacing the timing belt: 1. Loosen the crankshaft pulley bolt; this operation must first lock the flywheel using a special tool. 2. When installing the new timing belt, note: When cylinder No. 1 is firing, the mark on the camshaft timing gear must align with the mark on the edge of the oil pump housing; the mark on the crankshaft timing belt tooth must align with the mark on the timing belt rear cover. 3. If the belt is about to break, it often first develops some cracks or becomes very hard due to aging. If not maintained at this stage, the belt may lose teeth, followed by the engine skipping teeth, and in severe cases, the belt may break directly.
