Getting your timing belt replaced is an important part of keeping your engine in good shape. In fact, not getting your timing belt replaced can lead to disaster that could essentially total your car. The timing belt is a belt that runs between two parts of your car, keeping the crankshaft and the camshaft moving at the same time. This synchronicity helps your engine properly combust the fuel it takes in, and will keep your engine running for a long time. That’s why we provide timing belt replacement at our service center at Rochester Volkswagen.
Timing belts are completely different from your serpentine belt. The serpentine belt snakes between many pulleys that drive your A/C, your power steering system, your alternator, and other systems, and it goes from the engine out to these systems. The timing belt, on the other hand, is a belt that goes between two parts of the engine, the camshaft and the crankshaft, keeping your valves and cylinders in sync. The timing belt is vital to your engine’s capacity to run, while the serpentine belt is vital for other systems to run.
When you replace the timing belt in your car, you have a choice to make. You can either use aftermarket parts or OEM parts, and that choice will affect how your car runs for thousands of miles to come. The best choice is an OEM belt, which is the belt that was made for your Volkswagen and approved by their engineers to give your car the best performance. Aftermarket parts are made by a third party, and have never been thoroughly tested to see if they’ll work in your car in the long run.
