Avoid Used Cars not having Certified Mileage; A Broken Timing Belt will flatten your Wallet

Premature failure of rubber automotive belts timing can easily cost two or three thousand dollars of repairs, possibly including a new engine. So knowing the true mileage of a vehicle & 39; d & 39; opportunity is imperative. Cars having 4 or 6 cyl. Engines can have rubber belts and timing should be avoided.
Be warned
Five let an oil company survey revealed that 50% of off-rental cars have their odometers illegally returned and suggested consumers avoid & 39; d & d 39; buy out rental car (used), or leasing of cars & 39; occasion with uncertain mileage. If the cars really had 50000 miles, and & 39; odometer read 30000, and the timing belt is doomed to failure & 39; long before the new owners expected them fail.
What interference is a " Engine "?
Rubber timing belts are usually used in & 39; " " interference in the engines Who the
valves project and open further into the combustion chamber than in a "free-flow machines " . This allows the & 39; outside air at atmospheric pressure to & 39; flow faster into the combustion chamber through the larger valve openings, allowing the engine to inhale more & 39; air, be smaller and still create so much power while reducing its cost of production and to ensure the future & 39; l & 39; repair business for the dealer.
If a rubber timing belt breaks with the engine running, some valves stuck in their
open smash position in the top of the pistons, thus breaking the or
irreversibly damage & 39; one or other or & 39; about both.
How if the engine is a " interference engine. "
The seller may not know, ask the service technician. Better yet, go to & 39; n any search engine and type in "interference engine list " as requesting the service technician distributor may be unreliable. & 39; S & 39; he said that it does not have the & 39; s Dealer Sales Manager (not the seller) said on the purchase order and personally sign and thereby guarantee his assertion. To replace the mileage of rubber timing belts, connect to the Internet & 39; for Gates Rubber Company, a global manufacturer of such belts. On its web site, click on Parts / automobile. Look for "timing belt replacement " Guide.
Get a written guarantee to cover premature failure of the car engine timing belt.
Because most rubber timing belts on car engines must be replaced at 60000 to
70 000 kilometers to prevent the motor & 39; self destruction, insisting on a written guarantee from the seller to guarantee replacement timing belt at no charge if it fails in another 20000 miles. If the seller does not guarantee that & 39; then it is & 39; admit that the mileage may be inaccurate and by implication may have been turned back. Consider a compromise, as a $ 300 price reduction on the vehicle. S & 39; n & 39; it is not acceptable, walk away.
Replacement cost
Simply replacement of a timing belt & 39; rubber, even at recommended mileage can cost $ 400 + dollars. & 39; Before buying a car, especially 4-cylinder foreign cars, or even a 6 cyl. BMW, be aware of the inevitable & 39; cost of $ 400 - $ 800 to replace a timing belt rubber recommended intervals based on mileage or car age.
That & 39; s assumption of the timing belt at not to break. If it breaks (always while the engine is running), then internal engine damage will be catastrophic. If a timing belt on an interference engine & 39; n is not replaced at intervals recommended, the cost of repairs when the belt breaks could increase by $ 3000 to $ 5000 to replace the whole engine & 39;. The seller will still not mention interference that fuels the engine of the vehicle and may not even know what & 39; on is.
The sad part of this problem is that & 39; it is not & 39; possible to detect the & 39; timing belt wear without substantially tearing down the engine. The timing belt is a literal " sleeping time bomb ".
Therefore, still buy cars in the free running " " engines olive tarzan
