Belts wear out over time and chains will break from lack of lubrication.
No ... timing belts and the transmission are not related in any way. The timing belts are in the engine and keep all the pistons functioning properly. The transmission uses the power from the engine to drive the wheels.
Mustang Timing BeltTo the best of my knowledge, Mustangs don't have timing belts: They use timing chains which ought to bring you to 300,000 miles. More likely than not you'd need a valve job or new piston rings before the timing chain gave out. can a 3.8 mustang 1999-2004 make it to 300,000 mile
Yes. They all have timing belts in them. If you loose your timing belt, you will loose your engine.
The 2015 Honda Accord V6 models are timing belts. The 4-cylinder version uses timing chain.
some of them had double timing chains and some had single. as long as the new one is the same style then it will work.
timing belts are usually changed every 100,000 miles and you should be go to go
The most likely cause is improper ignition timing. In many cases the timing can be adjusted by rotating a distributor. Many older motors develop excessive wear to the timing gears,chains belts or any of the moving parts, and one day, usually while starting, they "JUMP" time as it is called. Also, when this happens, trying to adjust the timing usually won't be successful. Time for a new yiming set. Hope this helps.
you get to buy a new engine for at least 5000 bucks
If you have been installing the timing belts yourself, you may not be adjusting the tensioner correctly. Also, the valve train may be binding, causing unusual stress on the timing belt. And timing belts are not expected to last hundreds of thousands of miles. My Toyota Corolla needs a new one about every 60,000 miles.
I own a 2002 New Turbo beetle, and have been told the timing chain is very loose. it has 80,000 on it and seems to run fine...
To change the belts on a Volvo 240 DL, first, ensure the engine is off and cool. Locate the tensioner for the drive belt and loosen it using a wrench, then remove the old belt. For the timing belt, you'll need to remove the timing cover and align the timing marks before replacing it. Finally, install the new belts, ensuring they are properly aligned and tensioned, then reassemble any removed components.
