Top Tip for Timing Belt and Water Pumps Why you should recommend the water pump be changed along with the timing belt… The SKF timing belt and water pump kit

It is not necessary to replace both at the same time, however, it is highly recommended due to the high risk of engine damage. All parts of the synchronous drive have the same mileage and wear. If one of the parts is not replaced and loaded again by the timing belt adjustment, this can lead to a failure after a short time. What’s in it for your customer? They could save money in the long run as you only have to do the work to get to the synchronous drive once. How often should they be changed? Each car model has its own maintenance times. It is recommended to follow the official maintenance calendar of the car to be sure the engine is in good shape. A timing belt and water pump may last longer than the time specified by the car’s manual, but if we wait past the recommend time, there is risk of critical failure. If the timing belt breaks or the water pump fails, the damage to the engine can be extreme.
