How often should the timing belt of Changan Honor be replaced?
1 Answers
The replacement interval for the timing belt is clearly indicated in the vehicle's user manual and maintenance manual. Generally, it should be replaced when the vehicle reaches 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. For the Changan Honor, it is recommended to replace the timing belt at 60,000 kilometers for optimal performance. Relevant information about the timing belt is as follows: 1. The timing belt is a rubber component, and one of the main characteristics of rubber is that it ages. Combined with normal wear, the timing belt must be replaced promptly when it reaches the specified time. 2. The timing belt is a crucial part of the engine's valve system, ensuring accurate intake and exhaust timing by connecting to the crankshaft and maintaining a specific transmission ratio. 3. If the timing belt suddenly breaks while driving, the engine valves and ignition system will fail to operate normally, causing the engine to stall abruptly. This can result in bent valve pushrods, dented piston tops, and even holes in the cylinder head.
