Will the Auxiliary Drive Belt Be Replaced at the Same Time as the Timing Belt?

Is the Auxiliary Drive Belt Included in a Timing Belt Replacement?

• No, the auxiliary drive belt is not automatically included with the timing belt replacement.

• However, if your auxiliary belt is due for replacement, it is a cost-effective option to replace it at the same time as the timing belt.

Why Replace the Auxiliary Drive Belt with the Timing Belt?

1. Save on Labour Costs

• When booked together, our quote engine automatically removes the labour fee for replacing the auxiliary drive belt.

• The only additional cost will be for the auxiliary drive belt parts, making it a more affordable option.

2. Avoid Future Repairs and Downtime

• If the auxiliary belt is worn, cracked, or frayed, replacing it before it fails can prevent breakdowns.

• A failed auxiliary belt can lead to issues with power steering, battery charging, or air conditioning.

3. Easier and More Efficient Replacement

• The auxiliary drive belt often needs to be removed to access the timing belt, making it convenient to replace both at the same time.
