Timing Belts and Timing Chains

Overview of Timing Belts and Timing Chains

At Garner German Garage, we understand the critical role that timing belts and timing chains play in the performance and reliability of your Volkswagen (VW) and Audi vehicles. Whether your vehicle is equipped with a timing belt or timing chain, our expert technicians are here to provide comprehensive replacement services, ensuring your engine operates with precision.

Why Timing Belt and Timing Chain Replacement is Crucial

  • Timing Belt: Timing belts must be replaced at specific intervals to prevent belt failure, which can lead to severe engine damage. Routine replacement ensures precise engine timing. 
  • Timing Chain: While timing chains are more durable, they still require replacement in some cases, especially when issues like chain tensioner wear or chain stretch arise. Replacing the timing chain maintains proper engine operation.
