Why This Service Matters

Timing belts are a critical maintenance item on many PSA engines. Unlike timing chains, belts have a defined service life and must be replaced at manufacturer-specified intervals to prevent catastrophic engine failure. We replace timing belts with quality kits including tensioners and water pump where recommended.

What happens if you ignore this?

A snapped timing belt causes immediate engine failure. Valves hit pistons, bending valves and potentially cracking pistons. Repair costs often exceed the vehicle value. Replacement at the correct interval prevents this entirely.

Warning Signs to Watch For

If you notice any of these symptoms, contact us for a diagnosis.

Mileage or age interval exceeded
Squealing noise from timing belt area
Visible cracks or wear on belt
No record of previous replacement

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about timing belt replacement.

How much does timing belt replacement cost?
Timing belt replacement costs vary by vehicle model. We include the belt, tensioner, idler pulleys, and water pump (where recommended) in our quotes. Contact us for a specific price for your vehicle.
When should I replace my timing belt?
Most manufacturers recommend replacement every five to seven years or between 80000 and 120000 miles, whichever comes first. Check your service book or contact us. We can advise on your specific vehicle's interval.
Should I replace the water pump with the timing belt?
We strongly recommend it. The water pump is driven by the timing belt and is accessible during the job. Replacing it adds minimal labour cost but prevents future failure and repeat work.
What happens if my timing belt snaps?
On interference engines (most PSA engines), a snapped belt causes pistons to hit valves, destroying the engine. This is why preventive replacement at the correct interval is essential.
How long does timing belt replacement take?
Most timing belt jobs are completed in one day. We will confirm the timeline for your specific vehicle when you book.
