Cambelts

The cambelt, also known as the timing belt, is a crucial component in your car’s engine, synchronising the camshaft and crankshaft to control valve timing.

Manufacturers specify replacement intervals in the service manual to prevent costly damage. Delaying replacement can lead to a snapped cambelt and severe engine damage.

In the realm of automotive innovation, “wet belts,” or “belts in oil,” are gaining popularity. They waste up to 30% less energy in friction when compared with traditional chains or dry belts. Thus, not only does your car produce lower emissions but its fuel efficiency can improve by over 1%. However, wet belts require meticulous maintenance, as they rely on constant lubrication. Neglecting this upkeep can result in engine failure, potentially causing bent valves and cylinder head damage.

Replacing the cambelt when required is crucial to prevent engine damage. Wet belts, despite their potential for improved efficiency, demand diligent care.
