FAQs
What vehicles is the Quinton Hazell QBK678 Timing Belt Kit compatible with?
This kit is compatible with specific DACIA and RENAULT models. Please use the vehicle compatibility checker tool on the product page or consult the OEM reference numbers (DACIA 7701476745, RENAULT 7701473001, 7701476745) against your vehicle's specifications.
What parts are included in this kit?
The kit includes a Quinton Hazell Timing Belt (part number QTB654) and a Quinton Hazell Tensioner Pulley (part number QTT1045).
Do I need to replace other parts when installing this kit?
While this kit includes the essential belt and tensioner, it is often recommended to replace related components such as the water pump and idler pulleys at the same time, as they are typically driven by the timing belt and have similar service lives. Consult your vehicle's service manual for specific recommendations.
Can I install this kit myself?
Timing belt replacement is a complex job requiring specific tools and expertise. Professional installation by a qualified mechanic is strongly recommended to ensure correct setup and prevent engine damage.
How often should a timing belt be replaced?
The replacement interval varies significantly by vehicle manufacturer and model. Always consult your vehicle's owner's manual or a qualified mechanic for the recommended replacement schedule based on mileage and time.
What happens if my timing belt breaks?
In most modern engines (interference engines), a broken timing belt will cause the pistons to collide with the valves, leading to severe and costly engine damage. This is why timely replacement is critical.
Troubleshooting
Engine running rough or misfiring after installation
Double-check that the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshafts are correctly aligned according to the vehicle service manual. Ensure the belt tensioner is properly adjusted.
Noise coming from the front of the engine
Verify that the tensioner pulley is correctly installed and has adequate tension. Check for any foreign objects interfering with the belt or pulleys. A worn bearing in the tensioner pulley could also cause noise.
Belt appears to be slipping or has excessive slack
Re-examine the tensioner adjustment. Ensure the belt is routed correctly around all pulleys and that the belt itself is not damaged or stretched prematurely.
