Operation: Reasons to check the timing belt before the replacement interval.

Even if we are far from the recommended timing belt replacement interval set by the car manufacturer, it's not a bad idea to take a look at the timing belt. In this video, we can see why: perhaps the water pump bushing has worn out and is leaking limescale, which can prematurely damage the belt. Or maybe the tensioner bearing is showing signs of grease leakage, indicating premature wear compared to normal. Therefore, when servicing the car, especially after reaching 100,000 km, it's better to loosen the belt cover to have a look. Even the car manufacturers state that the belt should be replaced at 200,000 km or after 10 years, and it's always mentioned that regular checks are necessary. The belt shown in the video, if not checked, would have definitely snapped, causing serious (and expensive) engine damage.
