A Range Rover cam belt in Chelford should be tension checked every 10,000 kilometers. If you reach 60,000 and it hasn’t broken, at least get the belt checked for wear and tear. If your Range Rover reaches 100,000, consider yourself lucky and replace it immediately. Your cam belt keeps the camshaft and the crankshaft in sync so pistons and valves operate smoothly. The operation is critical to control the air/fuel mixture, pushing pistons down so fuel ignites in the combustion chamber of your engine. All the components are moving at high speed so imagine if that cam belt suddenly snapped. It would be a high-speed collision of the valves and pistons likely causing severe engine damage.
Repairs to replace the pistons and valves is very expensive. In Chelford, Range Rover cam belt replacement is far less expensive and likely a one-time only replacement. The manufacturer recommends cam belt replacement every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. We do a tension check of your cam belt when you bring your Range Rover in for service and maintenance checks. That should be about every 10,000 miles. That simple preventative measure can prevent the unexpected catastrophe of a belt snapping. However, there are a few warning signs that may alert you to the need for cam belt attention. One is a ticking noise coming from the engine. An engine misfire at normal RPMs or an oil leak in front could also indicate a loose cam belt.
