Timing Belt & Chain Repairs FAQs – Wairau, Auckland

What is the difference between a timing belt and a timing chain?

A timing belt is made from reinforced rubber and requires replacement at set intervals. A timing chain is metal and typically lasts longer but can still wear over time. Both are critical to engine operation and must be maintained correctly.

When should a timing belt be replaced?

Replacement intervals vary by vehicle, but many timing belts require replacement between 90,000 and 160,000 kilometres. Our mechanics can confirm the correct interval for your vehicle.

Do timing chains ever need repair or replacement?

Yes. While timing chains are designed to last longer, they can stretch or develop issues over time. Symptoms may include rattling noises, warning lights, or poor engine performance.

What happens if a timing belt breaks?

On many engines, a broken timing belt can cause serious internal damage. This is why timely replacement is so important. Preventative replacement is far more cost-effective than engine repairs.

Do customers travel to you for timing belt and chain work?

Yes. While we’re based in Wairau, Auckland, many customers travel from Glenfield, Albany, Takapuna, Northcote, Birkenhead, Hillcrest, and Mairangi Bay for timing belt and chain repairs due to our experience and careful approach.

Will you inspect my engine before recommending timing work?

Always. We assess service history, mileage, and engine condition before recommending any timing belt or chain repairs.
