Frequently asked questions
When should the timing belt be changed?
Most cars need it every 60,000–100,000 km or around 5 years. Check your service book or ask us.
Does my car have a belt or a chain?
It depends on the engine. Tell us your make and model and we will check.
Should the water pump be changed at the same time?
On many engines yes, because it sits behind the belt — it saves paying for the same labour twice.
