Just serviced the car and noticed that the timing belt has never been changed. It’s coming up to 70k so starting to think it should be replaced soon. Thinking of having a go myself. I’m no mechanic by any stretch of the imagination, but I do enjoy servicing and the odd repair as long as the weather’s nice and I don’t have to get under the car (I have to to change the oil, but I still don’t like it ?

My berlingo was done by a garage and they got the ip well off that it ran into limp mode any time it went past 3k revs. Fuel economy was good though. Reset it by pins my self- car doesnt go into limp mode. – how ever ive done em in the past with a sharpie. Its also possible to cut the current belt in half in places in some cases and pull off half before sliding new one on along side it- cut old one totally off and slide new one fully on.

The brake discs on your car are part of the rotating assembly connected to the hub and wheel bearing. When your wheel bearing has failed to the point of lateral play, the disc will no longer be aligned correctly. This means when you press the pedal, it may feel soft and take longer for your car to stop.

Wheel bearings are a set of steel balls contained in a lubricated metal ring located in the hub. They support the weight of your vehicle and allow the wheels to rotate freely while you drive. In normal conditions, the bearing accomplishes this without making any excessive noise. If the grease lubricant escapes the bearing or debris as water or sand enters it, the bearing will wear out and fail quickly.

Not a mechanic but used to do most of the spannering on my own cars. Have changed cam belts on Cavaliers, Escorts and such but not on modern cars, what I used to do is split the old cam belt along its length so you can fit the new one with half the old one in place so nothing slips. Hope that helps and good luck

Always turn back two full revs of the crank by hand and check the tension again. Twist test if it doesnt have a way of tensioning by torque.

Any normal non-mechanic types done this themselves and not destroyed their cars? Been watching a few youtube vids and I reckon as long as I’m methodical with dismantling everything it should be ok. The only thing that worries me is getting the crank pulley bolt out.

In the last car, Mazda 323 1.8, the tensioner let go. How my other half managed to coax it another 3 miles I’ve no idea, I couldnt even get it to rev on the driveway! Luckily it was a non interference engine, so other than the timing being in a different county, no damage was done. Was a bit nervous about doing it, took my time over a couple of evenings I replaced the water pump (precaution), tensioner and the belt. Was a bit of a fiddle getting the timing spot on, but a couple of goes and it was done. Very nervous when I went to start it, but it went fine. If you are going to replace the cam belt and it has a cam belt driven water pump, replace the pump at the same time, they’re only about £25 so its worth doing whilst you’ve got the belt off.

Many modern cars don’t have timing marks so you need a DTI to determine TDC and cam locks to set the valves in the right place. The disadvantage of doing it by cutting the old belt is that the you have no way of knowing if the timing was set correctly in the first place plus the belt will have stretched slightly making it even further out. On Alfa TS engines for example you tension the belt by rotating the inlet camshaft pulley on the shaft so you can’t use tipex marks to set it all up.

How ever as stated above access and toolage might be an issue. Im lucky enough to have big windy gun and big volumes of air at home.

We manufacture Ceramic Balls in sizes ranging from 0.25 mm to 8.0 mm in diameter. The most common ceramic ball material is alumina oxide Al2O3.

That would work but I think the tensioner is generally expected to be changed at the same time which makes this impractical

@trail-rat: Thanks. Wish I had a windy gun. Love working on cars until the inevitable stuck bolt and skinned knuckles. Might be time to buy a compressor.

The short answer is no. You should not drive your vehicle if you believe you have bad wheel bearing. The long answer is yes, but with the understanding that driving with a failed or failing wheel bearing can lead to serious safety issues as well as severe damage to your car.

Perfectly simple to do but crankshaft bolts are the hardest to sort, my last change, my 300lt compressor couldn’t undo it, has to drag the whole car down to the farm workshop and use their 3/4″ air line!

This is an extreme case, but if you drive on a bad wheel bearing for long enough, the wheel could come off. If this were to happen on the freeway or at high speeds, it could be catastrophic for you, your car, and other drivers.

Being part of the hub assembly, noise caused by a bad wheel bearing will only occur when you are moving. The sound may increase or decrease when you pick up speed or go around a turn. Paying attention to changes in noise or volume when going around corners. These changes can give insight into which side has gone failed. A bad wheel bearing can make any of the following noises depending on the cause or severity of the failure:

Wheelbearing noisedangerous

Hearing any abnormal noise while you drive is stressful. With so many moving parts making up your car, it can be nearly impossible to tell where that humming, whining, or whirring noise is coming from. A common issue that many drivers run into is a failing wheel bearing, which can present in a variety of ways. While many potential issues can cause an unusual noise while you drive, a bad wheel bearing is one possibility.

That being said, when you are moving, the sound will not cut in or out. If you only hear a noise when you are accelerating, decelerating, or braking, there may be another drivetrain issue.

When in doubt, bring your car to a technician. When it comes to wheel bearings, it’s better to be safe than sorry. If you aren’t sure whether the sound you are hearing is a bad wheel bearing, the technicians at Matson Point S will take a look and let you know exactly what is wrong with your car. Give us a call or schedule an appointment at our Riverton, Utah location today!

A lot of the time, your car may not feel any different when the bearing is making noise. It’s easy to overlook or put off an issue that is not directly impacting your daily driving.

Not exceptionally difficult (apart from windy gun absence) but just a sodding horrid faffy job. Not sure I’d be in a rush to do it again unless a real necessity.

If the noise you are hearing continues when you come to a stop, it is likely not caused by a bad wheel bearing. To produce noise, the wheels of your car need to be rotating.

When the bearing fails and comes apart, it will cause play in the wheel. This can lead to severe instability when driving at high speeds and can come on suddenly if the bearing completely fails while you drive.

Remember, a bad bearing will make the same noises no matter what road surface you are on. If you hear a noise that changes when you get on a more smooth or more rough road, you might be hearing tire noise.

Nothing super difficult about changing a timing belt on most cars but you have to be exact and methodical. There are usually pins to lock the engine but I do not rely on these and also mark the positions off on the end of the crank and cam shaft for a extra check..
