On certain timing belts of vehicles with diesel engine, there is oil landed at the time of the pulley (camshaft pulley etc.) manufacturing, and because of it, the belt may swell creating excessive tension. If this problem is left unattended, excessive stress is placed on the camshaft, and in the worst case, the camshaft could break causing the vehicle to stall.
Correction:
The timing belt should be replaced with a new one.
Identification:
