Why do we need to replace the water pump when replacing the timing belt. Do you need to replace the timing chain?

This is a Dongfeng Citroen C-5 that has traveled 160000 kilometers. Today we give this car. This time, the belts on our car are officially divided into two types, one is chain drive, the other is belt drive. The disadvantage of chain timing is the noise of the engine. The big advantage is that it has a long life. Some old irons even think that the chain is a car equipped with maintenance. If it breaks down, they don't need to care. Remember that this is not trustworthy, otherwise you will regret it.

One day, the advantage of this belt is that it has low noise, but short service life. Some belts require replacement between 60000 and 80000 yuan, while others require replacement after 100000 yuan. Therefore, the mileage of replacement varies depending on the vehicle model. However, the consequences of their failure are the same. Whether it is the chain stretching and jumping teeth, or the timing belt aging and breaking, the aging and jumping teeth of the timing belt will cause the engine timing to be misaligned, and the engine will top the valve. Finally, the engine will be overhauled, and the result is that the driver will spend thousands of yuan in vain. This car owner has a good sense of prevention. When we purchased one set and one water pump, we replaced the timing belt, the guide plate, the tensioning wheel, and the timing belt.

Many old irons mistakenly believe that this is a belt, which must be original. This idea is not right. There are many big brands that have the same quality as the original ones, and there is also our car. This water pump is driven by a belt, and we will advise you to replace it together because we also have bearings on our water pump and this plastic pump, which will age with mileage and time. After replacing it, it will solve any future concerns. Lao Tie, have you learned the car knowledge today.
