I noticed a knocking sound coming from my engine and my car has lost power. After further inspection, I found that the timing belt has snapped. What steps should I take to repair it and how much will it cost?
ReplyYou should not attempt to fix a broken timing belt yourself. It is a complex and delicate task that should be left to a professional mechanic. It is important to replace the timing belt as soon as possible to avoid further damage to your engine. The cost for this repair can range from $500 to $1000, depending on the make and model of your car.
I recently had to replace my timing belt on my Ford Mondeo and it cost me around $800. My advice would be to have your car towed to a trusted mechanic and have them inspect the rest of your engine for any potential damage. It's better to be safe than sorry.
