The timing belt in a Suzuki APV should generally be replaced every 90,000 to 100,000 kilometers o r every 5 to 7 years, whichever comes first. Replacing the timing belt on schedule is critical because if it fails, it can cause serious engine damage. The timing belt is responsible for synchronizing the engines camshaft and crankshaft, and if it snaps, it can result in bent valves, piston damage, and costly repairs. Regular inspection of the timing belt for wear, cracks, o r tension loss is essential to avoid unexpected failures. Always use the manufacturer-recommended timing belt for optimal engine performance.
