If the engine is an interference type serious engine damage will result. If engine is noninterference type it will just stop.
I've read that the recommendation is every 60K. We have a number of these vehicles in our business and change every 50K. Even that hasn't kept us from having them break early.
The timing marks are at the front top of the engine used to align the 2 camshaft gear timing marks after the front cover is removed. This is done after a new timing belt is installed or after a new water pump is installed which requires the belt to be removed and probably should be replaced with a new belt. Timing belts should be replaced between 60, 000 -75, 000 miles regardless of how well the engine is running. As in many cars these days, and with the Daewoo in particular due to interferrence between valves and pistons, if the old one breaks while the engine is running, the valves will bend or break with the good possibility of damage to pistons as well.
open the hood look at the drivers side it is bolted to the break booster looks like a pound cake pan and the plastic clear bottle with the black cap is you resovoier
My timing belt broke while driving on the freeway. Nothing was damaged. I think that I was lucky though.....
All Daewoo Engines are interference fit Engines. Which means that if the timing belt rips while the engine is running the pistons will hit and bend the valves and you will have to get new valves and possibly a new cylinder head. Worst case scenario you will also have to get a new engine block if for some reason chunks or pieces of valve, piston or cylinder head damaged the cylinder bore and cracked the block while things were moving around. Daewoo Timing belts are recommended to be replaced at 60,000 miles but it is best to replace them before 60k as some people have had their timing belts break on them as soon as 61,000 miles.
It can break with out warning.
yes!!!! if your timing belt is cracked or split, you should get it in asap! if your timing belt has broken the damage done all depends on what happened to break it/what were you doing when it broke? if you were driving when it happened ( not stopped) there will be extensive damage done if your car was on but you were stopped not as much damage.
if the timing belt breaks then yes it will throw the timing off.
Age or damage from a failed pulley.
need a bit more info is the breaks a problem or do you just want them improved or what the problem is
There is no timing belt. It is a timing chain. I have 130,000 miles and have not had any trouble. It will start making noise when it is time. Unlike timing belts which will break, timing chains wear out slowly.
What would cause the timing belt to break twice in 1 month on a 2000 Kia Sportage?
