INTRODUCTION

• There are some warning signs that can assist you
  in determining when you need a new timing belt,
  but it is crucial to remember that prevention is
  the key to optimal car maintenance, as there are
  no specific clues to prove a worn belt that is on
  the verge of snapping.
• The five key signs to be aware of are listed
  below to help you determine if it's time to check
  and replace your timing belt.

1. Misfires in The Engine

• Timing belts operate both the camshaft and the
  crankshaft via a system of pulleys. The teeth
  used for this are designed to grip and move
  smoothly, but if the timing belt begins to wear
  out, it may produce a repetitive clicking or
  ticking sound from inside the engine.

2. After Starting the Vehicle's Engine, There is
Smoke

• Belt wear and stretching harm the catalyst
  because the fuel is not completely burned in the
  chambers due to an incorrect mixture fuel
  composition. This means that any remaining fuel
  is directed to the exhaust system. If you hear a
  clicking noise when starting the engine and see
  black smoke coming from the exhaust pipe, this
  indicates an incorrect fuel composition, which
  could be caused by a variety of factors,
  including timing belt damage.

3. Difficulty in Getting Started

• Because it is connected to the pulleys that drive
  the crankshaft, a worn timing belt will affect
  the starting speed of your engine. The belt can
  eventually slip on the camshaft drive, causing
  the engine cylinder to open and close at the
  incorrect time.
• The stretching or wear of the timing belt causes
  it to skip one or more teeth, causing the engine
  ignition to be lengthened. Additionally, as
  previously stated, belt jumps or slips cause
  engine desynchronization.

4. The Appearance of The Belt

• If we are inspecting our vehicle or going to the
  garage, the first sign that the belt is worn is
  its appearance. There are small cracks visible
  throughout the piece. The internal threads of the
  cracks can be seen when the cracks are enlarged.
  Another sign is the separation of small pieces or
  fragments of belt material, which will eventually
  fall inside the engine.

5. Voltage Drop

• High elongation is another sign of advanced belt
  wear. When this happens, there is a loss of
  tension, which reduces the belt's deflection
  force. This will result in belt slipping or,
  worse, belt dropping during engine operation.
  Belt slippage or skipping causes the engine to be
  out of sync, which can result in a piston/cam
  collision and catastrophic engine failure.
