The primary purpose of the timing belt is to ensure that the engine's valves open and close at the proper times in relation to the position of the pistons. This synchronization is crucial; if the timing belt fails and the camshaft and crankshaft fall out of alignment, it can lead to severe engine damage. Such a malfunction could cause the pistons to collide with the valves, resulting in bent valves, damaged pistons, and potentially, a catastrophic engine failure.

A camshaft drive toothed belt, commonly referred to as a timing belt, is a rubber belt with teeth that connects the crankshaft to the camshaft in an internal combustion engine. This interconnection is crucial because it ensures that the engine’s valves open and close at the appropriate times during the engine cycle, which is essential for optimal performance. The precise timing of these movements is vital to the engine's operation, preventing potential damage that could occur from misalignment.

The alternator belt connects the alternator to the engine's crankshaft. In modern vehicles, this belt is typically a serpentine belt, which is a long, continuous belt that loops around various pulleys. The correct functioning of the alternator belt ensures that the alternator generates electricity to recharge the car battery and power electrical systems. A malfunctioning or worn-out belt can lead to a host of issues, such as battery failure, engine overheating, and loss of power steering.
