6 Signs Your Timing Belt Is Bad or About To Break (Belt Breaks while Driving)

6 signs Your timing belt is bad or about to break and destroy your engine (belt breaks while driving)

In this video I will demonstrate the importance of checking your timing belt. For example, always check for noise usually caused by a tensioner pulley or idler pulley. If the timing belt jumps by a few teeth, it can cause catastrophic engine damage. Usually a weak timing tensioner or pulley is the culprit. Also a worn and frayed timing belt can snap under load.

I didn't even take the chance on the tensioner and idler pulley last time I did my belt, even if they were good, I just straight up replaced it all. Might as well, if you're digging that deep into your engine to begin with.

Very nice explanation of the timing belt. Maybe a failing belt causes the new symptoms I've noticed.

in my case the water pump seized. Suddenly the heat in the cabin disappeared. A seized water pump rubbed the timing belt and broke. In the end 2 bent valves and all rockers broken. I disassembled, replaced the damaged valves, assembled new rockers. I put it together and boom I'm still driving

I have a 2006 Toyota tundra high mileage up replace the timing built twice. I brought it new .

Has over 450, 000 miles 😂😮 but still going same engine. Mine are issues. The issue I'm having now is making a whining noise . on the passenger side of the engine sounds like near the compressor. I think I'm not sure what it's coming from the passenger side front part of the engine. Do you have any ideas? Thank you.

Hello
i have a 2003 accord v6 running wierd. I thought about the timing but no indication for timing issue because it does not have low compression. In fact the compression seems high for such an old car; i think spec is 160 and above with a max variation of 14 between two consecutive cylinders and i measure 195-200 on all cylinders. Got another gauge and same compression values with no apparent leak while the gauge is on. Fuel pressure is within spec; spark plugs were new and oem when i last replaced it (fouled now) and ignition coils are not oem but are brand new. If i could have a lead, it would be great

In some newer cars a warning lite will tell you to change belt soon.

If my tensioner is bad and motor is rattling like loud lifter rattle, has the damage been done? No engine lights, idles as it should just rattling?

[ShitWrangler]

did that belt fail from wear because it as incorrectly installed as indicated by arrows printed on the belt showing correct orientation? or just wear and tear lack of service in general

Hi. I have Peugeot 807 2.2 hdi 128hp, the timing belt jumping an the engine stop. That was happening during driving. when i put it in automatic, the engine revs but doesn't start. The engine has no strange noise. Is it possible in this case to know of a broken or crooked spring or rocker??what do you recommend to do in this case??
Thank you.

I have a 2006 Toyota Sienna, When I start my car I hear a squealing sound that goes away after 10-15 seconds. It happens every time I start it even if the car is warmed up. Both belts outside of the engine (alternator and power steering) were replaced and the tension seems ok.. Is it possible that it could be the timing belt causing this?
