Here at MT & Commercial, we specialise in supplying customers with MOT testing for a range of vehicles, including those in class 4, 5 and 7. In addition, if we find fault with your cambelt, or you have noticed a problem with a rattling chain, we also offer a car repair service from our base in Oldbury.
Also known as a timing belt or timing chain, a cambelt is part of a vehicle’s internal combustion engine, which synchronises the rotation of the crankshaft in order for the engine’s valves to open and close at the appropriate times of each cylinder’s intake and exhaust strokes. The cambelt is imperative in order to avoid the piston from striking the valves.
Whilst it was during the 1970s and 80s that the chain version became commonplace when producing automobiles, where afterwards there was a shift to timing belts, they are also more common in recent years after a resurgence in use.
Whichever type you have, it is important that cambelts are replaced when recommended by the manufacturer, which may either be a time period or distance limit. If not replaced, it could result in the breakdown of your vehicle, or catastrophic engine failure.
At our Oldbury workshop, we can carry out cambelt repairs, change and replacement services, as well as replacement of timing chains and rattling chains. If you would like to arrange an appointment, or find out more about our cambelt services, please call 0121 544 7488, or get in touch online, and we will be happy to help you with any queries you may have for us.
