The timing belt provides precise synchronization for the rotary motion of the crankshaft, camshaft and any other accessory drives of the internal combustion engine. This in turn controls the opening and closing of the intake and exhaust valves and the precise fuelling of the engine, which is essential for accurate timing, efficiency and durability.
This key engine component requires replacing at required service intervals to prevent failure and consequential engine damage. Choosing the right replacement parts is an essential choice for any repair. A febi timing belt kit includes a belt made from a combination of materials, including abrasive resistant fabric, high-strength glass fibre cords and resistant elastomers, which mesh positively with each respective sprocket. Tensioner and idlers guide the timing belt between the sprockets for perfect belt tension during operation and a mechanical water pump, if required as this is an integral part of the timing belt system.
The vehicle featured, was due for a routine replacement of the timing belt and all additional parts of the timing belt system. Before starting any replacement, It is essential that the vehicle manufacturer’s repair procedures must be followed. The engine should be at an ambient temperature and any special tools should be acquired.
