Why hire a timing belt replacement service through Airtasker?

Although often overlooked, the timing belt plays a vital role in your car engine as it generally connects the bottom components to the top to keep the valves running. Once it breaks, the valves may hit the pistons and cause more severe damage. There are no specific signs that will tell you beforehand if your timing belt is about to fail, which is why it's essential to have them regularly checked.

If going to a repair shop takes too much of your time, you can always find a timing belt specialist near you through Airtasker! Let taskers assist you as they identify the issues and complete a thorough replacement job.

Top Timing Belt Replacement related questions

Technically, there are no clear signs that your timing belt is wearing out unless it has completely broken down. It's still best to include this when getting a regular car diagnostic check so a mechanic can take a closer look.

Your car manufacturer will specify the estimated mileage interval of when you should replace your timing belt. The mileage commonly ranges from 60,000 miles to 100,000 miles, although it might be longer for some modern cars.  

Replacements can take 2-3 hours of work, depending on the particular make and model of your car and engine parts. If your Tasker encounters a problem with your engine, the replacement might also take a little longer.

What do Timing Belt Replacement services include?

Replacing a timing belt is commonly not recommended for a DIY job. It requires extensive technical skills, the right tools, and parts, and could also take several hours to complete. Fortunately, you can always hire a mechanic from Airtasker, so you won't have to drive to the repair shop and wait for ages to get the job done! Here's what to expect:

Purchase of New Timing Belt

The new timing belt must be compatible with your car's model and engine. When purchasing, refer to your manufacturer's manual or compare it to your old one. If you're unsure, you can have your Tasker bring a suitable timing belt for your vehicle. They know the best brands that guarantee long-lasting durability and resiliency at the best price.

Disconnect and remove necessary parts

Before starting, the negative battery terminal must be disconnected and secured away from its battery post. Some necessary parts will also be removed such as the serpentine belt, hoses, cooling fan, alternator, and valve cover assembly to gain direct access to the old timing belt. Once done, it will expose the old timing belt, as well as the camshaft and crankshaft.

Timing masks

Your Tasker must then locate the timing marks on the camshaft and crankshaft to ensure proper alignment. This step will come in handy later on during the reinstallation process. Any misalignments should be addressed immediately before placing a new belt to avoid causing further issues in the long run.

Removing the timing belt

The bolts and screws that are holding the timing belt cover will be undone to release the tension and let the belt slip off the crankshaft sprocket. The crankshaft pulley will be then detached while keeping the crankshaft sprocket intact. Once settled, your Tasker will finally remove the timing belt from the vehicle.

Installing the timing belt

The camshaft sprocket must be aligned with the marks on the cylinder head. After then, the new timing belt will be reassembled and positioned around the crankshaft sprocket. A tensioner tool will help apply pressure on the belt to prevent a replacement that is too tight or too loose.

Reassembly

After installing, your Tasker will reinstall all previously removed parts. Feel free to go on a test drive to make sure that everything is working as it should be. If there are no problems, it means the replacement was a success!

Mk1 Converted 1.8T AGU needs Timing belt doing and help with bleeding rear breaks.

Car Timing Belt change (Help with fitting)

£100

Norbury, Greater London

3rd Oct 2026

Looking for an experienced mechanic to give me a hand changing the timing belt kit, I will be carrying out the rest of the service but may need help with bleeding the brakes on my Mk1 Golf with a 1.8T AGU engine conversion. I’ve already got the parts ready. I’m mechanically minded and do quite a bit of work on the car myself, so I’m more than happy to get stuck in and work alongside you. I’ve recently done quite a bit of the suspension and rear beam work myself. The timing belt is the one job I’m a little apprehensive about doing completely on my own. I understand the process, but as I haven’t personally done a cambelt before, I’d rather have an experienced professional there with me to make sure the timing is set correctly and everything is done properly. The car is kept in my home garage, so we’ll be working indoors and undercover. The garage has lighting and I already have most of the tools we should need, including a jack, axle stands, torque wrench and a decent selection of hand tools. If there are any specialist tools needed for the cambelt, just let me know beforehand. Ideally looking for someone who knows the VW/Audi 1.8T engines well and is happy to work alongside me. I’m actually interested in learning and understanding the job rather than simply handing the car over. All parts will be supplied by me. Please let me know your experience with VW/Audi 1.8T engines, what tools you can bring and what you'd charge for your time. Thanks!
