Timing Belt Actuator

The hydraulic timing belt actuator helps manage the tension of the timing belt by utilizing hydraulic pressure.

Timing belt actuator function

The timing belt actuator is made to absorb changes when there is a loss of tension on the timing belt. The loss of tension can be caused by many things like engine temperature, speed, as well as wear and tear. The timing belt actuator is crucial because it keeps constant tension on the timing belt while the crankshaft rotates which lessens noise and stops the belt from flapping.

Common issues with a malfunctioning timing belt actuator

A malfunctioning timing belt actuator can lead to knocking noises, an engine misfire, and the check engine light.
