Regular maintenance, including visual inspections and routine replacement, can help prevent timing belt failure. Mechanics typically look for signs of wear such as cracks, fraying, or signs of oil contamination, which can significantly reduce the belt's effectiveness. Additionally, timing belt replacement often coincides with other maintenance tasks, such as water pump replacement, since these components are located in the same area and may experience similar wear.
