When it comes time to replace the timing belt, it is essential to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and have the work done by a trusted mechanic. The replacement process typically involves not only the belt itself but may also include adjacent components such as the water pump and tensioners. Since these parts are accessible during the timing belt replacement, it is often cost-effective to have them replaced simultaneously.
