Frequently Asked Questions
At OWD Barn, we understand that Timing Belts can raise concerns, especially when it comes to safety and cost. Whether you are booking a Timing Belts inspection in Standish, Shevington or Wigan, or just want to know what to expect during your visit, we have answered some of the most common questions we hear from local drivers.
A timing belt is a reinforced belt that synchronises the crankshaft and camshaft(s) in your engine — ensuring valves open and close at exactly the right time. If it fails, the engine’s valve timing is thrown off, which can cause serious damage.
Typically every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, depending on your vehicle make, model, and manufacturer recommendations. We also check for signs of wear during regular inspections.
- Strange noises (squealing, rattling) from the engine area
- Visible wear such as cracks, fraying, glazing or glazing/lustre on belt surface
- Excessive looseness or misalignment
- Age, even if mileage isn’t high — belts degrade over time
Â
No — waiting for noise is risky. By the time you hear something, the belt may already be damaged. It’s much safer (and usually more cost-effective) to follow maintenance intervals and have inspections done regularly.
We inspect the belt and related components (e.g. pulleys, tensioners, water pump if driven by belt)
Remove the old belt and install a high-quality or OEM quality replacement
Ensure proper tension and alignment
Test engine timing and performance before handing the vehicle back to you

If you’re unsure whether your vehicle has a timing belt or chain, just ask us. We can inspect and advise. We also offer timing chain repairs where applicable.
