When to Replace the Car Belt?
1 Answers
Car belts should be replaced every three years or 50,000 kilometers. The car belt is a crucial component of the engine's valve timing system, ensuring accurate intake and exhaust timing by connecting to the crankshaft and maintaining a specific transmission ratio. The maintenance methods for car belts include: 1. Timely replacement of the car belt; 2. Avoid using the crankshaft to bend the timing belt during replacement, as it may cause severe cross-sectional fiber breakage and reduce lifespan; 3. Pay attention to signs of aging, such as surface cracks or a strong rubber odor; 4. Check for abnormal noises during driving, which may indicate improper installation, poor quality, or incorrect tooth profile of the belt.
