Timing belt replacement on Lada Largus - video review
According to the official instructions and the manufacturer's instructions, the GMR belt on Lada Largus cars must be changed every 60 km. If, as a result of operation, you notice that the teeth of the belt began to flake off, then this is a reason for replacement outside the scheduled maintenance.
[colorbl style="red-bl"]If the belt wears out and you do not have time to change it, then in the event of a break, there is a 100% chance that the pistons and valves will collide. This will entail costly repairs: replacement of valves, and possibly pistons, as they can be broken.[/colorbl]
To avoid this, it is enough to follow simple rules:
- Check the condition of the belt regularly (at least every 10 km, check it for loose teeth or tears)
- Produce timing belt replacement during
- The tension is produced with a certain moment, so it must be optimal. When tightening, too rapid wear is possible, and with a weak tension, jumping over the teeth of the timing gear
- The timing mechanism must be constantly clean, free of dirt and oily deposits, so that there is no chemical attack on the belt
- Monitor the condition of the tension roller, water pump drive, so that there is no backlash and unnecessary sounds during their operation
To clearly show the entire procedure for replacing the timing belt on the Lada Largus, a video review of this work will be presented below.
Video instruction for replacing the timing belt on the Largus 16 valve
Many thanks to the guys who are doing this kind of stuff, the video was taken from their YouTube channel.
I think that from the presented video clip, everything is clearly and clearly shown. If you are not confident in your own abilities, then it is better to contact a specialized car service with similar maintenance.
Also, it should be borne in mind that the timing components installed at the factory are practically the best in terms of quality, which of course should be taken into account when purchasing new parts.
The price of a timing kit with a tension roller is:
- 3500 rubles for a 16-valve engine
- 2100 rubles for an 8-valve power unit
Good luck on the roads!
