Timing belt replacement in Poznań – cambelt and timing chain

A timing belt rarely gives any warning before it snaps – and on many engines that means damaged valves. We replace the belt or chain together with the tensioner and pulleys, and you get the time and cost in a quote before we take anything apart.

What’s included

What we do

  • timing belt (cambelt) replacement with the tensioner and pulleys – the whole kit, not just the belt
  • timing chain replacement with the tensioner, guides and sprockets
  • the water pump while we’re changing the belt – we recommend it, you decide
  • valve timing set to the manufacturer’s specification
  • cooling system topped up and bled after a water pump replacement
  • a check that nothing is leaking onto the new belt – if it is, we message you before fixing it

The manufacturer sets the belt interval in kilometres and in years – whichever comes first. A belt ages even if the car doesn’t do many miles. A chain has no fixed replacement interval, but over time it stretches and the tensioner and guides wear – then it lets you know with a rattle or a fault code.

Before we start, we check what the manufacturer specifies for your engine and send you a quote on WhatsApp with the scope of work and how long it will take. With a timing belt that depends on the engine: on some cars it’s easy to reach, on others a lot of ancillaries have to come off first.

If the water pump is driven by the timing belt, we recommend replacing it at the same time: it’s right there once the belt is off, and if it fails later, the timing belt has to come apart again. We put it in the quote as a recommendation, and the decision is yours. At pick-up we show you the replaced parts.

Reliable, quick and no nonsense. Just how I like it. When the job was done, Sebastian called, invited me to pick up the car, explained what had been done and how, and the price was as agreed. 3,000 km driven since and zero problems.

Rzetelnie, szybko i bez wymyślania. Tak jak lubię. Gdy robota była skończona Pan Sebastian zadzwonił, zaprosił po odbiór, wyjaśnił co i jak było zrobione, cena zgodna z ustaleniami. Przejechane 3 tys. km i zero problemów.

Surprisingly cheap and even more surprisingly good. After various ups and downs, a friend talked me into going to Wasabi, and no mechanic in Poznań has ever made such a good impression on me as this crew. Recommended!

Zaskakująco tanio i jeszcze bardziej zaskakująco dobrze. Po różnych perypetiach za namową znajomego pojechałem do Wasabi i żaden mechanik w Poznaniu nie zrobił na mnie jeszcze tak dobrego wrażenia, jak ta ekipa. Polecam!

Jobs done quickly, professionally and with a detailed explanation of what was done and how. When you talk to them, you can hear and feel that it’s a passion, not just a job. And let the headlight restoration done at the workshop speak for itself in the attached photo :)

Zlecenia robione szybko, fachowo i jeszcze z dokładnym wyjaśnieniem co i jak zostało zrobione. W rozmowie słychać i czuć, że to pasja, a nie tylko praca. A regeneracja reflektorów zrobiona w serwisie niech sama za siebie przemówi przez załączone zdjęcie :)

FAQ · Timing belt replacement

Frequently asked questions

How often should the timing belt be replaced?

The manufacturer sets the interval – in kilometres and in years, whichever comes first. Send us the make, model and engine on WhatsApp and we’ll check the schedule for your car.

Do I need to replace the water pump with the timing belt?

If the pump is driven by the timing belt, we recommend it – it’s right there during the job, and if it fails later, the timing belt has to come apart again. We put it in the quote; the decision is yours.

How long does a timing belt replacement take?

It depends on the engine. We give you the time together with the quote, and you arrange the drop-off and pick-up times on WhatsApp.

Do you replace timing chains too?

Yes. If you hear a rattle after a cold start or there’s a timing fault code, bring the car in for a check. We replace the chain together with the tensioner, guides and sprockets.

Can I drop off or pick up the car outside opening hours?

Yes – at any time, any day, including Sundays and public holidays. Just arrange it in advance: best to give us a call, or message us on WhatsApp. The workshop owner will receive your car in person.

Do you speak English?

Yes. You can write to us in English on WhatsApp and talk to us in English when you drop off and pick up the car – from the first message to explaining what was done.
