The timing belt is one of the most important yet often overlooked components within a vehicle's mechanical package. An integral part of the regular maintenance schedule, the belt is responsible for the proper functioning of the engine: it is crucial to replace it according to the intervals specified by the vehicle manufacturer or if any signs of wear are detected.

The timing belt connects the crankshaft and the camshafts: it transmits motion from one shaft to another and ensures the engine operates correctly by synchronising all parts. Generally, it consists of a series of fabric interweaves with a rubber coating.

For this vehicle, the manufacturer recommends replacement every 81,000 miles or 6.8 years.
