The cambelt (or timing belt) synchronizes your engine's camshaft and crankshaft. A worn or broken cambelt can cause severe internal damage and result in a costly bill. Our cambelt services include:
Visual inspections for wear, cracks, and tension problems
Full cambelt replacement using OEM-spec or genuine parts
Complete timing belt kits, including tensioners and idler pulleys
Our trained technicians understand the specific requirements for all VW and Audi models, including the popular Golf, A3, Passat, TT, and Q series.
The water pump is replaced during cambelt servicing due to its proximity and critical role in engine cooling. A failing pump can lead to overheating, coolant leaks, and breakdowns. Our service includes:
Precision water pump fitting with high-quality, durable units
System inspections for coolant leaks or contamination
Coolant flush and refill to ensure peak cooling performance
When Should You Replace Your Cambelt & Water Pump?
Most Volkswagen and Audi models recommend replacement every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, or every 5 years. Always refer to your owner's manual or ask our team for guidance. Common warning signs include:
Engine misfiring or rough idle
Rattling or squealing from the engine
Coolant leaks or overheating
If you’re unsure about your vehicle’s cambelt or water pump condition, book a quick inspection with Mechalex.
