From an overdue interval or a ticking from the timing cover to a new belt kit fitted to the exact mark — in four clear steps.
Send your model, year and mileage — or any noise from the timing cover — on WhatsApp or book online. Our advisor confirms the manufacturer's interval, whether your engine is an interference type and the price of the full kit, then books a slot.
We remove the upper cover to check the belt for cracks, glazing and fraying, check tensioner and idler play, and look for oil or coolant contamination from the camshaft seals or the water pump. You get a fixed quote — belt kit, water pump, seals, coolant — before we start.
We fit a complete OEM-quality kit — belt, tensioner, idlers — and, where the belt drives it, the water pump, plus camshaft and crankshaft seals if weeping. Timing is set to the factory marks, the engine turned by hand through two revolutions and re-checked. Typically 4–8 hours.
After the first start we confirm smooth running, correct camshaft correlation with the scanner, no leaks and correct coolant level after bleeding. You leave with a report, the mileage recorded and a warranty on parts and labour.
A timing belt gives almost no warning — which is why the interval matters more than the symptoms. These are the timing belt situations Golden Horse deals with most often in Dubai.
Timing belt replacement is a vital part of car maintenance that should never be ignored. Unlike a timing chain, the timing belt is a wear item similar to tires or brake pads and needs to be replaced periodically. Typically, replacing a timing belt is included in the 100,000-mile service, but depending on your driving style or the make and model of your vehicle, it may require earlier repair or replacement.
The timing belt ensures the camshaft and crankshaft work in perfect harmony, allowing the valves and pistons to open and close smoothly. In Dubai’s hot climate, timely maintenance and replacement of the timing belt are essential to prevent engine damage and extend your engine’s life. Ignoring this crucial service to save on replacement cost can lead to the belt breaking, which may cause severe damage as the valves collide with the pistons.
When you replace a timing belt, it’s often recommended to install a full timing belt kit, which includes the tensioner and water pump, to ensure optimal performance and avoid future failures. If you hear a ticking sound coming from the engine or notice any unusual noises, it could be a sign that the timing belt is worn or about to break. Staying on the maintenance schedule with timing belt replacement protects your engine and prevents costly repairs caused by timing belt breaks.
Failing to replace your car’s timing belt when the time comes can lead to engine failure. Timing belts are typically made of rubber and, over time, become worn-out, lose efficiency, and may split or crack. Signs of a failing timing belt include:
If these signs are not detected early, a broken timing belt can cause the engine’s timing to go wrong, leading to costly repairs such as damage to the cylinder head, valves, or pistons. Timing belt replacement is a complex but crucial service that should be done according to the manufacturer’s recommendations found in your owner’s manual.
The cost to replace a timing belt in Dubai or elsewhere in the UAE varies depending on the make and model of your vehicle, as well as whether a full timing belt kit—including the tensioner, water pump, and timing belt cover—is replaced. Unlike timing chains, which are made of metal and generally last longer, timing belts are typically made of rubber and require timely replacement to maintain the correct timing of the engine’s crankshaft and camshaft.
To avoid timing belt failure and costly repairs, it’s important to:
Following these steps will help keep your car’s timing system in proper working condition and prevent damage caused by a faulty or broken timing belt.
