The timing belt needs to be replaced regularly. However, the timing belt has a buzzing noise after the replacement. This may be caused by improper timing belt tightness. It needs to be dealt with in time to avoid other failures. In addition, it is also possible that the new belt is too compact and will make noises during transmission. This is normal.Under normal circumstances, as long as it operates normally, after a certain period ofmileageThe running-in will become loose, and the abnormal noise will disappear.

Therefore, there is a run-in period in the early stage of the timing belt change. The specific run-in period depends on the personal driving habits. Generally, the run-in period is about 200-500 kilometers. When changing the timing belt, the idler pulley and the tension pulley are usually replaced together, so that the roller parts and the timing belt can be more closely fitted to avoid abnormal noise.

In addition, when replacing the timing belt, adjust the tightness of the belt. The tightness of the timing belt is very important. If it is too tight, it will lead to excessive tension and break easily, which will affect the life of the belt; if the belt is too loose, it is easy to slip and cause the timing of the configuration to lag, causing the car to shake, fuel weakness, and power. Insufficiency, increased fuel consumption, etc., it is easy to skip teeth when the engine is under heavy load or power impact, which may cause the valve to be lifted, thereby damaging the engine. The tensioner can be adjusted with a hexagonal key until the timing is 10mm loose when the belt is pressed down.
