if the timing belt breaks then yes it will throw the timing off.
A timing belt is driven by the crank shaft and allows the camshaft to turn,which opens and closes intake and exhaust valves in their proper timing sequence.
water pump is not driven by timing belt. The belt you see is your serpentine. Your timing belt is sealed. I believe you have an interference engine.. timing belt or chain drives your intake and exhaust gears for your camshafts
The timing belt is looped around the crankshaft and the camshaft or camshfts to control when the valves in your engine open to let the fuel/air mixture into the cyclinders for burning and the exhaust valves to open to let the burned mixture out into the exhaust system. Without a timing belt none of this could happen.
well how is the easy way to say it but the peugoet 307 hdi has a timing belt and a timing chain the chain runns between the cams the belt runs to the exhaust cam
Your timing belt has probably worn out, or broken, and has jumped timing.
No.
It can. The intake valves can hit the exhaust valves.
The timing belt rotates the cam which has lobes that make contact with the valves and open and close them in a precise manner to allow fuel to enter the combustion chamber and exhaust to exit the cylinder.
It does not have a timing belt. It has a timing chain.It does not have a timing belt. It has a timing chain.
bad ignition timing is correct. The timing gears may have slipped, and if the timing system uses a belt instead of a chain then the belt could have worn. The timing systen keeps the intake, exhaust and cyclinder pistons all in time so the engine will fire correctly. If the belt or chain slips even just a small amount, then the valves let gas in or out before or after the piston is at the point where the cylinder shout fire the spark plug. If the belt or chain slip far enough the engine will not fire at all. Bad ignition timing or fuel getting to the exhaust.
