Why it's important to get your Cambelt changed on your VW camper



First of all getting your cambelt changed is very important because of how much it's constantly used and because of this factors such as rain, heat, ice, salt and grit deteriorates over time, if the cam belt does snap whilst driving then the engine could seize up which can cause the steering and brakes to fail. We at the Happy Camper store can provide you with our services as we have had experience in the past dealing with cambelts.



Signs that your cam belt needs replacing



  • Vehicle won't start - If your vehicle doesn't start then that means there could be a problem with your cambelt and it needs to be fixed so that the vehicle can start up again.
  • Noises from the engine - Check out any unusual noises coming from your car as you may hear a rubbing sound from the belt which means the cambelt is about to fail.

    How often should you get your cam belt get changed?



    You should at least get your cambelt changed once every four or five years and if you reach the recommended mileage limit (40,000 and 100,00 miles) before the four or five years I would recommend that you should change the cambelt as soon as possible and bring it over to The Happy Camper Store where you can check what work we have done in the past on cambelts and we can sort this problem for you as soon as possible.



    Why's it important to make sure that you have a cambelt?



    It is very important to make sure that your VW camper has a cambelt and that is because it is part of the engine that moves cam inside to open and close important valves that allow air into and out of the engine at very precise times. If you have no cambelt or a working one then the engine will not work as correctly and as efficiently as it needs to.
