The timing belt is one of most capital constituents of a car. That said, in the event that we really do not take care, the breakage of a belt could damage very serious engine malfunctions. Everyone has already heard that it is important to replace this timing belt, on a Kia Cee D Sw or any type of automobile. So, if you want to properly understand the issues, it is necessary to go around the question of the timing belt: What is its role, for what purpose to replace it, when to replace it, and finally how replace. Here is our little specific timing belt file!
What is a timing belt used for on a Kia Cee D Sw?
So, if you want to control the belt action of any Kia Cee D Sw, it is necessary to understand what a distribution. In fact, distribution is the overall mechanical components that govern the admission phase (the valves) of the air-fuel mixture and exhaust. This timing belt is a toothed belt, carried away by the crankshaft pinion, which in turn drives the pulley camshaft. Depending on the car ranges, this can also call the pulley of the injection pump but also the pulley of the water pump on almost all mechanics. Basically, it is the timing belt that will allow to turn the pistons and multiple engine parts so synchronized.
Why change the timing belt on a Kia Cee D Sw?
Due to its consistency in caoutchouc, the distribution belt will deteriorate over time. If you drive a lot, the walking belt becomes much less flexible and much less resistant. This characteristic is increasingly important if you are driving in town, with frequent starts. If it happens that, on the other hand, you drive little, the belt may deform while remaining in an identical posture all the time. If ever this belt breaks or comes out of its location, it causes a engine stop immediate. Also, due to the contraction, it can damage several engine components. It is indeed capital to pay attention. We will now look at when to replace it.
When to change the timing belt on a Kia Cee D Sw?
The problem with the belt is that it does not necessarily have a wear indicator. It is therefore difficult to see her condition, especially since she is difficult to access in the engine. The best way not to cause engine breakage is to follow the manufacturer's information. On the other hand, it is sometimes essential to trust the mechanics. It is usually advisable to replace them every 100 000 kilometers, or every 5 years. Some conditions, such as coolant or oil leaks, can damage the belt more quickly.
How to change the timing belt on a Kia Cee D Sw?
Changing the timing belt on your Kia Cee D Sw is not easy. Indeed, it is an essential part of the engine, so when it is not correctly executed, it will inevitably create major damage to the engine. Such a repair is therefore not recommended without the presence of a garage owner. In order to replace the timing belt, you must first obtain the distribution kit whole. Here are the steps to follow in order to replace the famous belt:
- Loosen the tensioner roller to loosen the belt.
- Release the timing belt.
- Undo all the rollers and the water pump.
- Replace the new water pump
- Put the rollers in their original location
- Add the timing belt in place following the marks
- Tighten the strap at the recommended tension using a blood pressure monitor
- Operate the engine by hand, which corresponds to 4 city tours
Conclusion
It therefore remains essential to understand certain points before embarking on work. The belt is a basic element of the vehicle, it is this one which will make it possible to synchronize various parts. Its inevitable wear makes it important to replace it rather regularly. If you delay excessively, it could permanently damage the vehicle. And finally, it is essential to have excellent mechanical skills to be able to engage in this type of repair. Voila, the key is in your pocket. Good road !
