Frequently asked questions
- What is a cambelt and what does it do?
The cambelt helps your engine run efficiently by making sure its valves open and close in sync. It ensures that your engine parts run in harmony and keeps the timings just right to make the engine as efficient as possible.
- Does my car have a cambelt (timing belt) or timing chain?
In order to tell if your car has a timing belt or a timing chain you must inspect your engine. Check the side of your engine, if it has a tinplate or plastic cover, you've got yourself a timing belt. If your engine has neither of those, it has a timing chain.
- Where is the cambelt located?
Where it is located depends on your vehicle:
· In front wheel drive vehicles, it is usually on the left hand side of your engine
· In rear wheel drive vehicles, it is usually at the front of the engine, normally protected by a plastic cover
- How do I know my cambelt needs changing?
Signs which point to a problem include:
· High pitched, whirring engine sounds
· Juddering when the engine is on
· Difficulty starting up your vehicle
· Spots of oil or coolant on your cambelt
- What happens if your Cambelt breaks?
If the component breaks it could cause serious internal damage to your engine, which can be very expensive and at times impossible to fix.
- How long does a cambelt change take?
A cambelt change typically takes 3 to 4 hours, including a water pump replacement. So, ensure to set a whole morning/afternoon aside for the job to be carried out.
- Should I change my Water Pump and Cambelt at the same time?
Your garage may have recommended a water pump change at the same time as your cambelt replacement. This is because both parts are located in the same area and typically wear out at the same point in a vehicle's life. Changing both parts at the same time can save on future labour costs.

Ford was the first carmaker to introduce a vehicle assembly line, speeding up the process of production and bringing cars to more people than ever before. The brand's motorsport credentials are equally impressive. In the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans race, Ford ended Ferrari's six-year winning streak, beating the likes of Porsche and Lamborghini to the title with an ever-popular GT40. Jim Morrison, the lead singer of rock band The Doors, famously adored his 1967 Ford Shelby GT500, the only car he ever owned. It is a mystery to this day where the vehicle ended up after his death. Find out the average price of a Ford service or MOT here, or read this guide to see how Ford's maintenance costs compare with Vauxhall and Volkswagen.
The cambelt is responsible for synchronising the rotation of the camshaft and crankshaft. Hence, it is often 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 widespread. 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.
