Timing Belts & Wet Belts in Cowfold, Horsham

Your cambelt keeps the camshaft and crankshaft synchronised so the valves open and close at exactly the right moment. If it snaps, the engine can be ruined. We inspect and replace timing belts and wet belts at our Cowfold workshop using manufacturer-approved parts.

Cambelts are durable but they do not last forever. A weakened or snapped belt can bend valves, damage pistons and cause repair bills that dwarf the cost of the belt. The way to avoid that is to replace it at the manufacturer's recommended interval, typically somewhere between 40,000 and 100,000 miles depending on the vehicle.

A worn belt occasionally announces itself with a ticking from the engine, hard starting or a general lack of power. The honest answer, though, is that many give no warning at all, which is exactly why the mileage interval matters.

We tailor the work to your vehicle's specification and check related components such as the tensioner at the same time, since replacing the belt alone and leaving a worn tensioner defeats the purpose.

Some modern engines use wet belts, which run inside the engine and are lubricated by engine oil. These need specialised work and we are fully equipped to carry it out.
