The 2005 Hyundai Tucson is equipped with a timing belt. Unlike a chain, which is designed to last the life of a vehicle, a belt requires routine replacement. The belt is made of rubber and features teeth along one side. These teeth interact with the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets, turning them to make sure they stay synC-HRonized at all times. This is important because these sprockets control the opening and closing of intake and exhaust valves when the engine fires. If a belt breaks, it can result in expensive engine damage. Hyundai recommends replacing this part every 60,000 to 90,000 miles. The average cost to have the belt replaced in the 2005 Tucson is $420 to $580. Labor makes up about $230 to $300 of that total expense.
