Timing Belt Replacement
Timing Belt Replacement Service
The timing belt is designed to synchronize the rotation of your Jeep’s camshaft and crankshaft, to ensure each cylinder fires at the appropriate time, and the valves function properly. It ensures everything within your engine runs smoothly, and is therefore of critical importance to your engine’s functionality. Older models typically use a timing chain, similar to a bicycle chain, while newer models use high-quality rubber belts with hard teeth. With the stress it is subjected to, and its composition, it needs to be replaced when worn. While the mileage at which you should have the timing belt replaced can vary, our certified technicians recommend having this service performed approximately every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. For your model’s specific recommendation, be sure to check your owner’s manual. When it’s time to have your belt replaced, schedule an appointment at Bluebonnet Jeep in New Braunfels, Texas.

Risks of Delaying Replacement of Your Jeep’s Timing Belt
Your engine won’t work if the timing belt breaks because the various components will no longer be in sync. This can cause costly damage, and potentially engine failure if not dealt with immediately. Our certified technicians recommend keeping up with the manufacturer-recommended maintenance to prevent the stress, headache, and cost of engine repair or replacement.
