Read on to find out more about the importance of changing your timing belt and contact us today to book in your car.
A Timing belt (also known as a Cambelt) is an important part found in most internal combustion engines that is vital for synchronising the rotation of the crankshaft and the camshaft. The Timing Belt makes these move in unison, ensuring that the cylinders in your vehicle follow a proper intake and exhaust rhythm.
Belt failure can cause extensive damage to the valves, pistons and other internal parts of the engine. The cost of changing the timing belt is a bargain when you consider the cost to replace the entire engine.
An old or faulty Timing Belt can cause numerous problems for your car’s engine.
If the Timing Belt snaps while you’re driving, it could be very dangerous. The engine could seize up, causing steering and brakes to fail.
The pistons can also hit the valves in the cylinders, damaging the engine.
Specific to the Honda Civic 1.0 you may then see the following engine management warnings ( DTC – Diagnostic Trouble Code ) :
DTC P055F Oil pressure out of range
DTC P0011 Variable Valve Timing Control ( VTEC ) System malfunction
DTC P2646 Rocker Arm Oil Pressure Switch Performance issues
DTC P2263 Turbocharger Wastegate Control System Performance
If the belt is not replaced, it will eventually lead to engine failure and a much more costly repair.
