The engine is the heart of your Subaru, and one of its most crucial components is the timing belt. The timing belt plays a critical role in synchronizing the camshaft and crankshaft rotation, ensuring precise timing of the valves and pistons. This synchronization is vital for properly operating the engine’s combustion cycle, allowing valves to open and close at the correct times to intake air and fuel, ignite the mixture, and expel exhaust gasses. Essentially, the timing belt controls the timing of these events, which is integral for the engine to run smoothly and efficiently. As a part of the engine, the timing belt is subject to wear and tear over time and must be replaced regularly to prevent potential damage or failure. We offer expert Subaru timing belt replacements at All Wheel Drive Auto in Kirkland, Washington. Whether your timing belt has run its course or has run into a problem, leave it to us to handle.

Timing belt problems can arise due to various factors, including age, mileage, and lack of regular maintenance. Over time, the timing belt can become worn, brittle, or stretched, leading to potential failure. Exposure to extreme temperatures and contaminants can also accelerate wear and deterioration of the timing belt. Additionally, improper installation or tensioning of the timing belt can cause it to slip or break prematurely. Signs of a bad timing belt include engine misfires, unusual noises coming from the engine, such as squealing or ticking sounds, and visible signs of wear or damage on the timing belt itself. If the timing belt breaks or slips, it can even cause the engine to stall or fail to start altogether. In some cases, severe engine damage can occur if the timing belt fails while the engine is running. It’s important to monitor the condition of the timing belt and replace it according to the manufacturer’s recommended schedule.
