A timing belt replacement needs to happen depending on the intervals in your vehicle’s owner’s manual. This can happen anytime between 60,000 to 100,000 miles. Its role is to synchronize the camshaft and the crankshaft. If it is not functioning correctly, then there could be issues or engine malfunctioning. The timing belt is made out of rubber, and it will naturally wear out over time. This is why it is important to have it checked regularly. It also should be taken in if any signs of damage are apparent.
