The A34 road passes a few miles west of Didcot, providing a link to Oxford, about a 25-minute drive away. The local council has imposed a 20mph speed limit on some streets in Didcot that you might have otherwise expected to be 30mph zones, so it's worth double-checking that you're travelling at the right speed to avoid being fined. The town is served by Didcot Parkway railway station and buses operated primarily by Thames Travel.
The cambelt is responsible for synchronising the rotation of the camshaft and crankshaft. Hence, it is also called the timing belt. Often, drivers book a cambelt and water pump change together to save time and money.
FixMyCar has an excellent network of cambelt specialists who will advise you on the best course of action.
Three common signs your cambelt needs replacing are a squealing noise when you start the engine, problems getting your car to start, and a glazed or glossy look to the belt. Although a snapped cambelt is uncommon, tension issues are not. A loose cambelt will whip around the engine, causing knock-on effects, while a tight belt usually causes a whining sound and puts pressure on the bearings of the cogs it is fitted to.
Whether you went to book a regular timing belt replacement or a mobile timing belt replacement, you're in the right place.
