Timing Belts & Water Pumps: The Service You Shouldn’t Skip

Your timing belt and water pump are two of the most critical—and most overlooked—components in your vehicle. Whether you drive a VW, Audi, or BMW, missing this service could result in catastrophic engine damage and a very expensive repair bill.

At PG Performance, we help you stay ahead of that risk with preventative service done the right way.

What Does the Timing Belt Do?

The timing belt keeps your engine’s camshaft and crankshaft in perfect sync. If it snaps or slips, your engine’s pistons and valves can collide, causing serious internal damage.

When Should You Replace It?

Most vehicles require timing belt replacement every:

100,000 to 160,000 km, depending on model
Or every 7–10 years, whichever comes first

But always check your owner’s manual – or let us look it up for you.

Why Replace the Water Pump Too?

The water pump is often driven by the same timing belt. If it fails, it can cause overheating and engine damage. That’s why it’s standard practice to replace both at the same time—saving you on parts and labour.

What’s Included in a PG Timing Belt & Water Pump Service?

OEM-quality timing belt and water pump kit
Tensioners, rollers, and seals replaced as needed
Coolant flush and refill with correct spec fluid
System pressure test and full inspection
Warranty-safe documentation

We only use parts we’d trust in our own cars – no cheap kits or cut corners.

Do All Vehicles Have Timing Belts?

Not all. Some newer models use timing chains, which don’t require regular replacement, but still need periodic inspection. We’ll check your engine type and let you know what’s needed.

Warning Signs of a Failing Timing Belt or Water Pump

Often there are no warnings, but you might notice:

Squeaking or rattling from the engine bay
Coolant leaks
Overheating
Sudden engine misfires or loss of power
Engine won’t start

Don’t wait for symptoms – by then it’s usually too late.
