It’s hard to imagine that such a small part in a large vehicle can actually cause the car to malfunction. However, it can happen. If the timing belt on your car snaps, it can be the downfall of your entire engine.
A timing belt is a rubber belt that is located on the side of the engine and helps to make the vehicle run smoothly.
According to Testingautos.com, timing belts should be replaced anywhere from a minimum of 60,000 miles to 106,000 miles. Check your vehicle owner’s manual to determine when it’s recommended to have your vehicle’s timing belt changed.
