Cambelt FAQs

Cambelt replacement intervals vary by manufacturer and engine type, but most are due between 40,000 and 100,000 miles or every 4 to 6 years — whichever comes first. Check your service book or give us a call with your registration and we'll look it up for you.

If a cambelt snaps on an interference engine (which most modern engines are), the pistons and valves collide, causing severe and often catastrophic engine damage. Repair costs can run into thousands of pounds, and in many cases the engine needs replacing entirely. Replacing the cambelt on schedule is far cheaper than dealing with the consequences.

A cambelt replacement typically takes between 3 and 6 hours depending on the vehicle. Some engines have the belt more accessible than others. We'll give you an accurate time estimate when you book in.

Yes, we strongly recommend replacing the water pump alongside the cambelt. On most engines, the water pump is driven by the timing belt, and the labour to access it is the same. Replacing both together avoids paying for the same labour twice if the water pump fails later.

Check your vehicle's service book or maintenance schedule for the manufacturer's recommended interval. If you're unsure, call us or send a WhatsApp with your registration number and we'll check it for you — no charge.
