Regular maintenance of your vehicle includes keeping an eye on the timing belt. Wear and tear can lead to cracking, fraying, or, in some cases, the belt may slip out of alignment. Common symptoms of a failing timing belt include unusual noises from the engine, difficulty starting the engine, or the Check Engine light illuminating on the dashboard. To prevent untimely failures, manufacturers often recommend replacing timing belts every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, depending on the vehicle make and model.
