About Us
The engine of your Acura has a timing belt that is critical for the engine to function. This timing belt can break, wear out, or get damaged over time, requiring a timing belt replacement service. If the timing belt breaks, it can cause serious damage to the engine. That is why it is important to get the timing belt inspected regularly and get it replaced if there are any signs of damage. We can take care of this at Sterling Acura of Austin. We stock Acura OEM timing belts for the Acura TLX, RDX, MDX, ILX, and other Acura models. The timing belt replacement service will be performed by our certified Acura training technicians. Our location allows us to serve drivers from Buda, Sunset Valley, Creedmoor, Austin, and Garfield, TX.
The timing belt, also called cambelt, is designed to harmonize the movement of the camshaft and crankshaft, which operate the pistons and valves of the engine. Although the timing belt in Acura vehicles is extremely durable and does not break easily, the condition of the timing can worsen over time. You can expect your Acura to need a new timing belt around 60,000 to 90,000 miles depending on the condition. At independent service centers, you are most likely to only find aftermarket timing belts, which might be of decent quality, but they would not match the quality or compatibility offered by genuine OEM Acura timing belts available at Sterling Acura of Austin
Our technicians at Sterling Acura of Austin can check the condition of the timing belt on your Acura to determine if replacement is needed. We can remove the existing timing belt and install a new belt in your Acura making sure the belt fits perfectly and is properly aligned. The tension of the timing belt is also critical to its function so our technicians will make the tension of the belt matches Acura specifications. After the timing belt and other parts are reinstalled, we will do a test run of the engine to make sure your Acura is ready to go back on the road.
