About 2 years ago, went over the recommended period to change the belt on the Eclipse by an additional 40,000 miles or about 60,000km but it runs smooth now. Avoided an expensive repair bill!
When are you supposed to change it? There is so much contradictory info out there? A Vw Up 1.0litre ?? Also, in your video, you show oil contamination of the belt when some belts today run in oil? ( Ford Transit engines) for example. No wonder people are bamboozled.
How come on some VW diesel engine such as the 1.6tdi, 2.0tdi, they say in the manual to replace at 210,000km and it doesn’t matter how many years? But other people say 5 years for the same engine in the same country?
This is a good question. I have the same problem with my Seat 1.0tsi. Some dealership said 210000km, and check at 120000km, SOME SAID TO CHANGE IT AT 4 ,5,6,7 YEARS. You don't know any more the exact interval. Mine has 75555km and 6 years. Probably I will change it this year because I need to do other repairs on the engine.
can anyone let me know if worn can cause a slight jerk/hesitation when accelerating off a stop ? I have Accord 06 v6 114,000 ik it’s due already but I need just want to know if this jerk/hesitation is a early sign? I don’t hear any knocks occasionally a squeal when starting up and driving for while then go away
If the belt snap or skip a tooth, you may experience the joy of mushroom planting. (When the timing goes wrong and the valves implant itself into piston) The vehicle didn't have interfered valves won't do this but still the vehicle will be running really rough or even straight up dead. But almost every vehicle have interfered valves for better performance, And mushroom planting is a very expensive problem to fix. So read the manual, periodically check and maintain is the best bet. (Even some timing chain has a tendency to snap )
That is a timing chain not belt. Chain is good for the life of the vehicle usually as long as you keep up on oil changes. The chain is lubricated from the oil.
Yeah, buy a chain one, and then pay for 1.000+ euros to change it because it is streached. Especially if is is on the back of the engine, and the engine needs to go out of the car to change it...
The same problem can happen on a chain driven engine. People are just too lazy to bother replacing it, that's why they favor chain driven engines over belt driven ones. Both are prone to stretching or snapping, although a chain is more likely to run a little more longer compared to belts before it fails. Regardless (whether belt or chain), it's recommended they get replaced every 50,000-60,000 miles or 80,000-90,000 km to ensure your engine doesn't give you issues in the future.
@@cerisem7727 Chains are alse dependent on oil (quality and change interval), and wear out much quicker if the engine is not maintained well (which in most cases, is not).
So when was the last time you changed yours? Let us know in the comments 💬
Changed first time after 5 years and 25.000 km, then after another 5 years and another 55.000 km.

Last year
Literally last week, which is what brought me to this video out of curiosity.

If you've gone to this much trouble to check the timing belt you might just as well change it
Thanks for the clarification. We are sure that your comment will be useful to many of our viewers.
Changed it last week. Now I have a peace of mind that it won’t burst and damage my engine.
Some good info; but in order to see the belt you have to take off many engine parts.
Reality is; just plan to change the belt at recommended milage.
We're sure your comment will be helpful to many of our viewers.
Thanks for posting this.
Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍

Yeah well, Citroen engines now have belt in oil system, so there's that...
Very helpful video. Thank you!!
Thank you for sharing your opinion with us.
Can a 2010 kia Rio 1.6 timing belt broke doing 30mph can I fix it?
It is not possible to answer your question unequivocally; we recommend that you consult with your mechanic.
Great vid
BMW 316i Cranking but does not start, good battery.
Without proper diagnostics it is difficult to say something, we recommend contacting the service.
Good 👍👍👍🔥

It is difficult to tell anything from the description, it is recommended to contact the service.
Are you sure the squeal isn’t your alternator belt??
Extremely expensive since the engine is essentially taken apart, timed and put back together
Not nearly as expensive as the timing belt randomly failing and your engine exploding
❤❤❤❤❤goood
How much should replacing a timing belt cost, and how long should it take?My car is a 2012 ford fiesta diesel. Thanks
We do not have such information and we recommend that you consult your mechanic.

Does ,a worn or bad timming belt cause a car pick up problem ?

Fluids on the belt?
So why does ford's ecoboost engine have the belt running in oil?🤦♂️

@@justplaygamer2331 No they Actually have a Wet belt design on these engines which often fails M8..
This is it
👍
NEVER BUY BELT CAR OR BIKE! N E V E R!
