Have you noticed dark exhaust coming from your car’s tailpipe, or having trouble starting your car recently? The problem may lie in your timing belt or timing chain. If your vehicle requires car timing chain and belt repair and replacement in Mukilteo, the Conaway Motors team is ready to fix your issues so you can avoid potential problems with your car’s valve train.
While manufacturers often put mileage limits in the vehicle manual that indicated when timing belt maintenance should occur, circumstances can develop that lead to requesting maintenance on your timing belt or chain earlier than you anticipated. Fortunately, there are plenty of indicators that can indicate when your timing belt or chain needs maintenance. These signs can include:
Timing Belt
● Frayed or splitting edges on the belt itself
● Noisy tensioners or a noticeable squeakiness
● Idling that leaves your car shaky
● Tailpipe exhaust that is dark grey
● Issues with startup regardless of the temperature of the engine
Timing Chain
● A loud scraping or rattling coming from the front of your engine
● Noticeably weaker gas mileage than usual
● A shaky engine
● Idling that is uneven
Keep an eye out for these signs, especially around when your manual recommends timing belt or chain maintenance service, and you can avoid potential issues with other parts of your vehicle, such as the valve train.
If your vehicle needs car timing chain and belt repair and replacement in Mukilteo, the professionals at Conaway Motors can handle all of your automotive maintenance, repair, and replacement needs.
