Cambelts

What does a cambelt do?

The cambelt, or timing belt, is one of the most important engine components because it regulates the way your engine works by synchronising the rotation of the crankshaft and the camshaft. Like most engine parts, it does eventually wear out, and if it’s left it can snap which can cause some very expensive damage to your engine. On older vehicles, this could even cost more than the value of the car itself.

There aren’t really any signs that warn you that your cambelt needs changing, so it’s worth checking in your owner’s manual to see what intervals the manufacturer recommends. If you’re not sure, get in touch with SW Motor Services, and we can check the health of your cambelt and can replace it at our workshop in Chippenham.

SW Motor Services is a member of both Trust My Garage, a collection of quality independent garages, and the IGA (Independent Garage Association), one of the oldest motor trade organisations in the country. We are proud to be affiliated with both organisations whose members are genuine professionals committed to upholding a strict code of practice.
