The Importance of Timing Belt (or Chain) Maintenance

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Timing belt

Video tutorial

This video shows how important it is to maintain the timing belt (or chain), as a break due to oil leaks can cause severe engine damage. While it is true that replacing it requires a costly intervention, failing to change it (and not checking it periodically) can lead to even more serious damage, resulting in even heavier expenses.

As for metal chains, they can 'stretch' over time, causing rattling noises. Unfortunately, some engines start having issues at relatively low mileages, and their chain needs to be changed much sooner than the manufacturer recommends.
