Operation: How to tell if the car's timing chain needs to be changed

The timing belt is as simple as it is an important component inside a car. It is not present in all models, in fact, some vehicles are fitted with the metal version instead of the classic rubber version and, unlike the latter, it guarantees greater durability over time. In the case of the rubber belt, it is important to promptly replace it in the event of excessive wear as its breakage can cause considerable damage to the structure of the engine itself. To prevent this from happening, some very simple tests can be performed. One of the best known and most useful in the case of autonomous maintenance is that which involves observing the behavior assumed by the belt with the engine off. In fact, if you notice lateral play or physical damage when rotating it, then replacement is almost mandatory.
