What is a timing belt?

The timing belt is the component of the engine that connects the crankshaft to the camshaft and controls the valves' opening and closing. It plays a vital role in synchronising the engine's functions as it controls the movement of the camshaft and the crankshaft. If the timing belts fail, your engine could shit down, causing your car to break down.

Manufacturer

When choosing the timing belt, it is essential to select the proper manufacturer. When selecting a manufacturer, you need to look at experience and capabilities. It is also necessary that the manufacturer has expertise in the product you want to purchase and also provides the product's technical specifications. So, ensure you look for a manufacturer with years of experience and vast knowledge.

 

Original Equipment parts or OE

Original equipment is ideal for the performance of a vehicle. So, when you are looking for timing belts, ensure you get the original equipment for your car. Genuine OE quality components are manufactured to the highest standards, while non-genuine parts cannot guarantee the same performance. Remember this point.

Keep a check on the material.

The quality of the material used in the manufacturing should be checked when purchasing the timing belts, and they should provide extended durability and proper performance. You need to ensure that the product you purchase has the best material. If you are buying poor-quality timing belts, you will damage your car. So, ensure you properly check the belt and then finalise the one.

Final Words!

Timing belts hold an important place in the car's operation. And when you find out that these timing belts are broken, it can create a sense of tension. There are multiple factors you need to consider when you are looking for a polyurethane timing belt. You must understand that this process is complex since numerous companies sell timing belts and promise to deliver the best quality products. But many websites are not genuine. You need to discover the right one properly.

 

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?

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.

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.
