What are the symptoms of timing belt jumping teeth?
1 Answers
The symptoms of timing belt jumping teeth are: difficulty in starting the engine and poor acceleration. If the engine timing chain is not regularly maintained and adjusted, the timing belt may jump teeth. The reasons for jumping teeth include: 1. The belt coming into contact with oil: This can corrode and deform the belt, causing it to slip and jump teeth; 2. Failure to promptly check and adjust the tension of the timing belt: After a certain mileage, the timing belt will naturally stretch. If the tension is not adjusted in time, jumping teeth may occur; 3. Improper use: Since the timing belt is made of rubber, sudden starts and rapid acceleration can temporarily stretch the belt, leading to jumping teeth.
