I made call to my family and they bring mechanic.

Do not try to take your car running for long if you see any of these signs that your call is telling you.

Car Sound

If your car sound is high-pitched screech or whirring when you start engine, and accelerating. It’s a sign that your car needs a new timing belt. Another sound could be ticking or uncommon sound from engine.

Engine RPM between 2K to 4K

It’s a sign when you feel some problem on in between 2000 to 4000 rpm. Engine starts acting on this rpm and this can fail because your timing belt is either loose or breaking. It causes accelerating slippages.

Exhaust Fumes – heavy

Do you see uncommon smoke from exhaust? It is another major indication to get your belt replaced as early as possible.

Engine will not turn over

If you try to start your car and you hear engine motor sound but your car is still not started. It is because your timing belt is slipping and not transmitting proper energy from motor to engine.

Car Stops

One major and serious sign is when your start stops abruptly. In this scenario, you can face a major engine damages if belt not replaced quickly. Call nearest mechanic for full inspection and do not try to take one more mile.
