as above,the auxillary belt is driven off the engine aswell but it goes to the alternator,a/c and pas.

the sole purpose of the cam belt is for the timing,and it's crucial that it's spot on.thats why it's a bigger job to do.you have to set the inlet and ex cams to a certain position so that the valves open and close at the right time,last thing you want is the pistons bending a valve.

The cam belt also drives the water pump normally Smile
