The timing belt is a crucial component that synchronises the movement of the crankshaft with the camshaft and the movement of the valves and pistons. When a timing belt wears out, it risks breaking.

While the part itself is relatively inexpensive, the damage caused by a break can be much more significant. When the timing belt breaks, moving parts can be irreparably damaged, at which point the engine must be replaced at a considerable cost.

The vehicle's maintenance manual indicates the guidelines to follow for replacement in terms of mileage and years.
