The timing chain or timing belt do not usually break down so quickly. Fixed maintenance intervals are not always specified by the manufacturers. That’s why automotive professionals check and replace timing chains and belts in good time. And save their customers hassle. If they break, the damage to the engine can be enormous.
Checking the timing chain/ timing belt and wearing parts
Unlike a timing belt, a fine sense of hearing may help to detect a defective timing chain in advance. If owners of such a car think they hear an unusual rattling sound when starting the engine, for example, it’s worth having a motor vehicle professional take a closer look. In addition to the timing chain, he will also take this opportunity to check various wear parts such as slide and tensioning bars, chain tensioners or sprockets and idler pulleys.
Replacement requires precise adjustment of the timing
If it is necessary to change the timing chain or timing belt, this means a lot of work and requires the exact adjustment of the timing. The right tool set from MOBILITY MARKET facilitates this work and makes the positioning of the camshaft and crankshaft easy. You can rent the right tool for adjusting the timing on your customer’s car easily and quickly online with us.
Rent tools for replacing timing chain/ timing belt
Renting instead of buying is the credo of MOBILITY MARKET. Because it makes more economic sense for garages and mechanics to rent tools that are needed irregularly, when you need them, instead of buying them so that they lie around unused most of the time.
