Timing Belt Replacement in Hebburn, Tyne and Wear

Timing belt replacement at Banks Of The Tyne Motor Company in Hebburn. We replace the belt, tensioner, idlers and, where needed, the water pump at the right interval, protecting your engine from expensive damage.

Don't Leave Your Timing Belt to Chance

The timing belt keeps your engine's crankshaft and camshafts turning in perfect sync. On most engines, if the belt snaps the valves and pistons collide, often causing damage that costs far more than the belt itself and sometimes writing off the car.

Timing belts wear with both age and mileage, so they need replacing at your manufacturer's interval even if the car isn't used much. We'll check the correct interval for your engine and fit a complete kit with tensioners and idlers, plus the water pump where it's belt-driven.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should a timing belt be changed?

It varies widely by engine, typically every 4 to 10 years or 40,000 to 150,000 miles, whichever comes first. We'll look up the exact interval for your engine.

Does my car have a timing belt or chain?

Many engines use a chain instead of a belt. Chains are designed to last longer but can stretch and need replacing too. Give us your registration and we'll tell you which your car has.

Why replace the water pump at the same time?

On many engines the water pump is driven by the timing belt and sits behind the timing covers. Replacing it at the same time avoids paying the labour twice if it fails later.
