How Often Should the Crankshaft Pulley Be Replaced?

[SanLeilani]

The belt should be replaced every six years or after the vehicle has traveled 100,000 kilometers. Below are the hazards of not replacing the belt: 1. Cracks: If the belt breaks, it usually starts with some cracks or becomes very hard due to aging. If not maintained at this stage, it can lead to missing teeth, followed by the engine skipping teeth, and in severe cases, the belt may snap directly. 2. Consequences of Breakage: If the belt breaks, due to its own inertia, the camshaft will continue to operate. However, without the matching function of the belt, both components will operate freely, causing the piston and valve movements to become misaligned. This results in continuous collisions, and in severe cases, both components can be damaged.
