Things to consider when choosing a timing belt kit

When buying a timing belt kit there are some questions: Should I replace the water pump at the same time as the timing belt?

With competitive price and timely delivery, SBT sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.

The water pump is directly adjacent to the timing belt in most engines. Because getting to the timing belt is such a labor-intensive job, it's a good idea to take this opportunity to replace the water pump at the same time because of the effort required to get down to either one of these items. Besides, both of these items tend to have a similar lifetime. For this reason, doing this labor-intensive job at the same time is the smart play.

But' What happens If I don't replace the water pump?

Not replacing all the components during a timing belt change means if the water pump does go at a later point, you will have to pay for the same labour twice because probably the water pump has worn out because of use anyway, and will need replacing sooner than later.

That's why at Industrias Dolz we always recommend to get both, the timing belt and the water pump, replaced at the same time.

The advantage of this dual replacement is to offer the best long-lasting repair while preventing risks of engine breakage. And last, but not least, more savings for your pocket.

Let's see below this three things to consider when choosing a timing belt and water pump replacement:

• Half of interventions:

  the vehicle is immobilized less times.

• Savings for the end user

  (On average, 5 hours of labor less)

• Better repair

  , since each component of the timing belt system is replaced at the same time.

How to choose the right timing belt set for your car

First and foremost, do your research. There are some key features that increase the likelihood of your new timing belt kit becoming a successful choice.

Don't hesitate, choose an all-inclusive kit. It's better to know that your timing belt kit contains all components you need for its renewal. Not just the timing belt itself.

Another factor to consider before ordering is the part number. Make sure the kit is the correct one and it fits with your vehicle.

Aspects to consider when choosing a timing belt kit

A new timing belt kit gives you peace of mind that your vehicle will run optimally for a long time. For that, there are some aspects you should closely look at to make sure you have an excellent result. With the proper parts, your engine will last for many years.

Below are some of the most important points you should consider before choosing a timing belt kit.

Manufacturing

Experience and capabilities are two important aspects to consider when choosing the right manufacturer of your timing belt kit.

It's important also that they have the expertise for your specific product. And also other additional supports as technical specifications of the product to identify exactly how the item(s) should turn out, comfort guarantee and quality.

So, as you can see, a manufacturer with years of history can offer you backed by a wide knowledge and many years of experience.

Materials

The quality of the raw materials used in manufacturing distribution kits will be vital for its lifetime, providing extended durability and proper performance. The manufacturer must ensure the materials are acceptable for use because if the products are manufactured with low-quality, they will not stand up and you won't get the expected result.

Original Equipment Parts (OE)

In terms of quality, OE parts are beneficial to the performance of a vehicle.

Premium OE quality components are engineered and manufactured to the highest standards to perform according to OE vehicle manufacturer intended.

Non-genuine components do not have the same performance guarantees and as a result, due to a low quality the replacement of the elements will take place multiple times over the lifespan of OE quality parts. 

For this reason, at Industrias Dolz we make several inspections at various stages during the OE quality manufacturing process to ensure that our products always meet specifications.

A timing belt plays a vital role in the well-being of your car and its health can be critical to the running of your vehicle. Most people delay replacing their timing belts as it is a pretty big expenditure. However, getting your timing belt replaced on time can save you a lot of money and heartache.

Here's everything you need to know about your timing belt and when you should get it replaced.

But before that let's understand what a timing belt actually does:

What Does a Timing Belt Do?

The timing belt of your car is a part of the internal combustion engine and plays an important role in synchronizing the engine's functions. The belt controls the movement of the camshaft and the crankshaft. It is also responsible for the movement of the several valves of the engine, thus regulating the passage of air and gas causing fuel combustion in the engine.

Most importantly, the belt controls the movement of the valves in tandem. In case of a failure, your engine could shut down causing your car to break down.

Signs That the Timing Belt Needs To Be Replaced

The best way to prevent the breakdown of your timing belt is to ensure that it is checked during a servicing routine for the following damages:

Material Loss and Belt Abrasion: Material loss in a timing belt is similar to that of a tire. In case there is the transportation of heavy load or in wet weather, the belt could sustain wear and tear which leads to loss of traction. This could cause the belt to slip.

In the case of belt abrasion, the timing belt could wear down to its filaments. This usually happens due to bearing failure, pulley misalignment, or excessive heat.

Cracking of Material: In very simple terms, your belt could develop cracks on the topside or underside. If your mechanic spots cracks in the timing belt, you need to have the issue addressed on priority.

Glazing: Your timing belt could develop a shiny surface. This indicates the belt isn't providing as much flexibility and has gone stiff. This calls for immediate replacement.

Pilling of material: The material that your timing belt loses due to wear and tear could pile up in the rib cross-sections. This could cause vibrations and belt noises.

Hydroplaning: When water cannot be dispensed from the warm belt and pulleys, it causes the belt to hydroplane. This can cause power loss to your engine accessories.

These are just some of the issues that are indicative of wear and tear in your timing belt. Mechanics usually recommend replacement of the timing belt anywhere between 60,000 to 100, 000 miles.

The best way to ensure that you do not face issues due to a timing belt breakdown is by taking proactive action. Ask your mechanic to check your timing belt during services. Also, do ensure that your mechanic is using the best auto spare parts.
