Automobile belts are rubber products and have a certain service life. After a long period of time, they will wear out and are prone to aging. They need to be replaced regularly.Many car owners are not sure how often the belts of their cars should be replaced, and they don’t know the price of replacement. The owner’s guide will help you uncover the fog and find the answer.
For timing belts, most factoriesbusinessThe suggestion is to use it for 3 years or to replace it once after driving 60,000-80,000 kilometers. The replacement cycle of the timing belt varies with the structure of the engine, and the new car can be extended appropriately. The specific replacement cycle is subject to the instructions in the vehicle's maintenance manual. If it is not replaced in time, the timing belt will age or even break, which will affect the use of the car and cause engine failure.
How many kilometers does the timing belt cost?
Timing belt replacement usually accompanies the replacement of the tensioner and screws, and the belt material cost is about 500-800YuanIn between, the price of a replacement set is about 1,000-1,500 yuan, and the 4S store will be relatively more expensive, but more secure.
Advantages and disadvantages of timing belts
The timing belt is an important part of the engine's air distribution system, and the transmission parts of the automobile timing system are divided into two types: timing chain and timing belt. Timing belts have great advantages due to their low cost, low noise, and low transmission resistance. Some cars use it. However, the belt is a consumable product, with a shorter life span than a timing chain, and a higher failure rate. It is prone to aging and fracture after a long period of use, and needs to be replaced regularly.
The consequences of a broken timing belt
The timing belt is broken and the connection between the camshaft and the crankshaft is interrupted. At this time, the camshaft is not driven by power, and the valve group controlled by it fails to open and close, and the piston will bend the valve stem due to inertia. If the speed is high, the piston may also cause ablation and damage, and in severe cases, it will directly lead to the scrapping of the engine.ifFindThe timing belt is broken, so you should pull over in time and wait for rescue.
★Expand knowledge
If the timing belt is installed too tightly, the tension will be too large, and the belt will easily break; if the belt is too loose, it is easy to slip, which will cause the configuration timing lag, resulting in vehicle jitter, weak refueling, insufficient power, and increased fuel consumption. It is easy to jump teeth when the load is large or the power is impacted. The timing belt should be adjusted to the best tightness (10mm looseness when pressed down, can be turned 90°), so as to ensure the best effect of the belt and extend a certain life.
