## FAQ

**Q: What happens if a timing belt breaks while driving?**
A: On interference engines — the majority of modern engines — a broken timing belt causes the valves and pistons to collide. This causes severe internal damage, often requiring a full engine rebuild or replacement. Replacement before failure is always the correct approach.

**Q: Should the water pump be replaced with the timing belt?**
A: Yes. On most vehicles the water pump is driven by the timing belt. Replacing it at the same time avoids a second labour-intensive job and eliminates the risk of a water pump failure on a fresh belt.
