How to replace the car timing belt | Peugeot 405

#belt #timing #mechanical
As a very sensitive part in the power transmission system of internal combustion engines, the timing belt must be replaced regularly and with high precision. Otherwise, failure and loss of coordination will occur in the movement of engine components such as half-crank and valve valves, and as a result, the engine will not be able to deliver power to the wheels of the car. Timing belts are available in different sizes and lengths for different engines, and depending on the type of engine and its application, they may be made of tungsten, steel, or reinforced with polyester and nylon fibers.
Also, because the timing belt is used to contr
ol the movement of the engine components, not replacing it on time can increase fuel consumption, reduce engine life, damage other parts of the power transmission system, and even risk serious accidents such as belt failure while the car is moving. to be Therefore, regular replacement of the timing belt is very important.
Timing belt replacement time is different for each car model and should be determined according to the car manufacturer's instructions as well as according to the operating conditions and age of the car. But in general, it is generally recommended to replace the timing belt after 60,000 to 100,000 km for newer cars and 50,000 to 80,000 km for older cars.
Also, some of the signs and symptoms that may indicate the need for a timing belt replacement include:
1. Abnormal noise: If there is an unusual noise such as the sound of dry cement, ragged sound or grinding sound when the engine starts, it is probably necessary to replace the timing belt.
2. Engine vibration: If the engine and car vibration increases greatly when driving, it is probably due to the failure of the timing belt.
3. Loss of engine power: If the engine loses its power and the performance of the car is severely reduced, this is a sign of timing belt failure.
4. Unstable speed: If the speed of the car is unstable and you need to work with the accelerator to adjust the speed during the trip, the timing belt probably needs to be replaced.
However, the best way to determine when to replace the timing belt is to follow the vehicle manufacturer's instructions and replace it regularly.
