Cam Belts / Timing Belts

Cam Belt & Timing Belt Replacement

Your engine’s cam belt, also known as the timing belt, is one of the most critical components of your vehicle. It synchronises the crankshaft and camshaft, ensuring that your engine’s valves open and close at the right times. If a timing belt fails, it can cause severe engine damage and costly repairs. That’s why timely inspection and replacement are so important.

At Niu Hua Automotive, our qualified technicians provide professional cam belt and timing belt replacement using top-quality parts to match your vehicle’s specifications. We check not only the belt itself but also related components such as tensioners, pulleys, and water pumps, ensuring a complete and long-lasting repair. With our expertise, you can drive confidently knowing your engine is protected.

What We Check in a Cam Belt / Timing Belt Service

A timing belt replacement is more than just fitting a new belt. Our technicians carry out a full inspection and service, which includes:

Timing Belt Condition

We check the belt for cracks, fraying, or wear that could lead to sudden failure.

Tensioners & Pulleys

All tensioners and pulleys are inspected or replaced to ensure proper belt alignment and tension.

Water Pump (if applicable)

Since the water pump is often driven by the timing belt, we check and replace it if needed during service.

Oil Seals

We inspect camshaft and crankshaft seals for leaks, which can damage the new belt.

Engine Timing

After replacement, we carefully set and test engine timing for precise performance.

Final Inspection

We run the engine and double-check all components to confirm reliable operation.
