Signs You Need a Timing Belt Replacement

• High Mileage: Most manufacturers recommend replacing the timing belt between 60,000 and 100,000 miles. Consult your vehicle's manual for specific recommendations.
• Ticking Noise from the Engine: A ticking sound coming from the engine bay may indicate a worn or loose timing belt.
• Engine Won't Start: A broken timing belt can lead to a non-starting engine, as the camshaft and crankshaft will not turn synchronously.
• Engine Misfires: A worn timing belt can slip, causing the engine to misfire by disrupting the timing of the valves and pistons.
• Oil Leakage: Oil leaking from the timing belt cover due to a bad seal or gasket can also signal the need for a replacement.
