Like anything operating with an engine and mechanical parts, belts are a significant part to your Acura. One of those belts is the timing belt, whose purpose includes synchronized movement when driving. As time goes on, these belts find themselves worn down and need a replacement. A timing belt replacement service refers to certified technicians examining your Acura’s timing belt and its function ability and then replacing it when it is time.
Because the timing belt will deteriorate over time, having it done is not a question, but more of a when. More or less, this should be done as soon as a technician makes the determination and suggests a replacement. This replacement is inexpensive and much cheaper than the damage it can cause in the future without replacement. The timing belt also assists the water pump to properly operate. A good practice is to have the water pump replaced in conjunction with the timing belt to maintain top performance of both of these functions. This belt works directly with the engine and requires an in-depth assessment and repair by technicians. The functionality of the timing belt is crucial to the central engine operation of your Acura.
If you are notified by a technician that the timing belt needs replacement and you choose not to replace it, you can expect the operation of your Acura to decline shortly after the diagnosis. A malfunctioning timing belt that is worn and needs replacing will quickly cause significant damage to the engine. You can also expect your water pump to not pump the water appropriately since it is synchronized by the timing belt that is not properly working. All of these operations will begin to falter because their synchronization put in place by the timing belt is no longer available. These repairs can be costly depending on the damage done and any replacements that are needed due to permanent damage.
The timing belt replacement service is essential for all Acuras, no matter the model.
