Q. Do used cars come with powertrain warranty?
If you look at any used car at a major dealership these days, there’s a good chance it comes with a powertrain warranty, which can run anywhere from 30 days to “lifetime.” “Usually the powertrain warranty is for things that actually make the vehicle move, the engine and the motor itself,” he said.
Q. How much does it cost to get new spark plugs?
The typical amount you will pay for spark plugs is between $16-$100, while for labor on a spark plug replacement you can expect to pay around $40-$150.
Q. What is covered under car warranty?
A warranty typically only covers components of your vehicle that are damaged due to manufacturer defects, like the engine and transmission. When you buy a new vehicle from a manufacturer, it will come with a car warranty. An extended car warranty is a separate purchase made when the manufacturer’s warranty has expired.
Q. How much should it cost to replace a timing belt?
The average cost to replace a timing belt will be anywhere from $300 to $500 in total (more for larger cars, trucks, and SUVs). The timing belt itself will usually only cost less than $50 but the majority of a timing belt job is spent on labor. The cost of the labor will be anywhere from $250 to $450 or more.
Q. What are signs of bad timing belt?
Symptoms of a Bad or Failing Timing Belt
- You Hear A Ticking Noise Coming From The Engine.
- Your Car’s Engine Won’t Turn Over.
- You Notice An Oil Leak Near The Motor.
- You Experience Exhaust Issues.
- Your Revs Start Acting Up.
Q. Can you tell if a timing belt has been changed?
There really isn’t an indicator for belts, unfortunately. If the boyfriend of the previous owner says the dealer changed it, bring the car to that dealer, if possible, and have them look up a service record. If you’re far away from the dealer, call in and have your VIN handy.
Q. Can you tell if a timing belt needs to be replaced?
What’s That Sound? – One sound that you need to be aware of is a high-pitched screech or whirring when you first start your car and/or when you’re idling or accelerating. The next is a ticking coming from inside the engine itself. These are both possible indicators that the timing belt is malfunctioning.
