timing belt for renault

A timing belt is a rubber band with high-tensile strength and is anchored with fibers and teeth. It synchronizes the rotation of the engine’s crankshaft and camshaft(s), ensuring that the engine's valves open and close at the correct times during each cylinder’s intake and exhaust strokes. Without a properly functioning timing belt, your Nissan's engine performance could significantly decline, potentially leading to catastrophic engine failure.

It is essential to follow the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the replacement intervals for both timing belts and chains to avoid potential engine damage.
