Imagine driving and suddenly hearing strange noises from the engine or noticing that your car is having trouble starting. This could be due to wear on the belt or chain that controls the engine valves. If these parts are not replaced in time, serious breakdowns can occur. Our team will quickly and carefully perform the Timing Gear Replacement, check all related components, and ensure that your engine runs smoothly. Timing Gear Replacement is an important procedure that helps avoid major issues and keeps your engine in good condition.
When should you consider timing gear replacement?
- The engine knocks or squeaks on startup
- Mileage exceeds the recommended replacement interval
- A rumbling or noise is heard near the timing drive
- Oil spots appear near the timing belt area
- The car suddenly stalls while driving
- Suspicion of wear on the rollers or tensioner
- No records of timing belt replacement after purchasing a used car
- Vibration or jerking in engine performance
What does our timing gear replacement service include?
- Removing the timing belt cover
- Loosening and removing the tensioner
- Removing the old belt and rollers
- Checking the condition of the guide and tensioning rollers
- Installing new rollers and belt
- Aligning the marks on the crankshaft and camshaft

Additional information about the service
Timing Gear Replacement is a crucial procedure that helps maintain your engine in good working order and prevents serious breakdowns. The belt or chain drives the engine valves, opening and closing them at the right moments. If this mechanism fails, there is a risk of valve-piston collision, leading to costly repairs. We carefully inspect all parts related to this mechanism to ensure your engine operates smoothly.
Diagnostics and Preparation
Before replacement, we thoroughly inspect the belt or chain, tensioning, and guide rollers. We pay special attention to the condition of the tensioner, as it is responsible for the correct tension of the belt. We also check for oil leaks around the drive - oil accelerates wear on the belt and rollers. If you have recently purchased a used car and are unsure of its service history, we recommend a complete replacement of this assembly.
Replacement Steps and Associated Parts
The process begins with removing the timing belt cover, then we carefully loosen the tensioner and remove the belt and rollers. All rollers must be replaced with new ones, as they cannot be restored - worn components can lead to the rapid failure of a new belt. If your model is equipped with a water pump driven by the timing belt, we also recommend replacing it at the same time to avoid re-dismantling the mechanism.
Final Checks and Recommendations
After installing the new belt and rollers, we precisely align the marks on the crankshaft and camshaft - this is very important for the correct operation of the engine. We tighten the tensioner according to the instructions and check the belt tension. We always advise adhering to the replacement schedule and not postponing the procedure to avoid serious breakdowns and keep the engine in good condition.
