1 Answers
Shanghai Volkswagen New Santana timing belt alignment method: Rotate the intake and exhaust camshafts to a relatively horizontal position, fix the crankshaft pulley to the front cover, and the timing belt alignment can be completed. Below is more information about the timing belt: 1. The timing belt is an important part of the engine's valve system. It ensures the accuracy of intake and exhaust timing by connecting to the crankshaft and matching a certain transmission ratio. The reason for using a belt instead of a gear for transmission is that the belt has less noise, smaller self-variation, and is easier to compensate. Obviously, the lifespan of the belt is shorter than that of metal gears, so the belt must be replaced regularly. 2. The timing belt is a consumable item. Once the timing belt breaks, the camshaft will not operate according to the timing, which is very likely to cause the valve and piston to collide and cause serious damage. Therefore, the timing belt must be replaced according to the mileage or time specified by the manufacturer.
