Timing belts are not simply strips of rubber but highly engineered products, so it makes sense to fit a quality brand from a top manufacturer such as Gates. At motorparts.ie our belts are of premium quality and produced by the world’s biggest OE suppliers to the car manufacturers.

Timing belts drive the camshaft from the crankshaft to control the opening and closing of your Daihatsu Copen engine valves. Like all rubber products, they deteriorate over time, regardless of the mileage. So check the users manual of your Daihatsu Copen for the recommended change intervals. A snapped belt will most likely result in the need to replace the engine in your Daihatsu Copen.

*On some vehicles the water pump is driven by the timing belt. Should this be the case, it is best to replace the water pump as part of the project. The cost and the time element of replacing the timing belt will need to be repeated should the water pump fail later.
