When should you change it?
Most vehicle manufacturers recommend replacing the cambelt around every 60,000 to 100,000 miles (or roughly every 5 years, whichever comes first). The exact interval can vary by car make and model, so always check your owner’s manual. Even if you drive less, rubber belts can deteriorate with age, so don’t exceed the time limit. Our honest mechanics can inspect your cambelt and give advice – if it’s not due yet, we’ll tell you. But if it is due, it’s best to change it promptly to avoid risk.
Signs Your Cambelt Needs Replacing
Your cambelt may need attention sooner than the service schedule suggests. Here are key warning signs to look out for:
- Unusual Engine Noises: Rattling, ticking, or grinding sounds can signal the cambelt is worn or loose.
- Poor Engine Performance: Misfiring, rough idling, or a sudden loss of power often means the cambelt is no longer keeping timing in sync.
- Car Won’t Start: If the cambelt has failed, the camshaft and crankshaft won’t work together, leaving the engine unable to start.
- Visible Damage: Cracks, fraying, or missing teeth on the cambelt are clear signs it’s due for replacement.
- Oil Leaks: Leaks around the timing cover can affect the cambelt and lead to premature wear.
- Warning Lights: Engine warning lights paired with performance issues may point to timing-related faults.
If you notice any of these symptoms, book a cambelt inspection in Maidstone right away. Acting early can save you from costly engine damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a cambelt (timing belt)?
A cambelt is a rubber belt inside your engine that keeps the engine’s moving parts in sync. It connects the camshaft and crankshaft so that valves open and close at the right times. In short, it makes sure your engine runs smoothly.
How often should I replace my cambelt?
It’s generally recommended to replace the cambelt every 60,000–100,000 miles or about every 5 years. This varies by car, so check your manual. Replacing it on schedule prevents it from breaking and causing engine damage.
Can I replace a timing belt myself?
It’s not recommended. Cambelt replacement is complex and mistakes can cause severe engine damage. Our specialists handle it with professional tools and training.
What happens if I don’t change the cambelt?
If you don’t replace it, the cambelt can eventually snap and fail. A broken cambelt can badly damage your engine, valves might bend or pistons could get damaged. This could lead to very costly repairs or even engine failure. It’s much safer (and cheaper) to replace the belt before that happens.
How much does a cambelt replacement cost?
The cost depends on your vehicle’s make and model. We will provide a clear, upfront quote tailored to your car with no hidden charges. Just contact us with your car details for a free quotation. Our pricing is transparent, so you’ll know exactly what you’ll pay before we start any work.
How do I know if my timing belt needs replacing?
Warning signs include ticking noises from the engine, misfiring, or difficulty starting. If you’re in Maidstone and notice these, it’s best to book a cambelt check.
How many hours does it take to replace a timing belt?
On average, a cambelt replacement takes 3–5 hours. At our Maidstone workshop, most jobs are completed the same day.
