Yes it will cause internal engine damage and it must be replaced every 60,000 miles.
If the timing belt breaks while running, it can cause damage to the valves also. It's something referred to as an "interference" engine design, which seems completely silly to me, but it muse save Suzuki $3 in manufacturing costs or something. You should have the belt changed at the mileage recommended in the owner's manual to prevent having a problem.
The "interference" design is one where the pistons at top-dead-center do not have clearance for the valves when the valves are fully extended. It is not a silly design. It is a design that squeezes as much performance out of the engine as possible. Because of this, the changing of the timing belt is a critical maintenance step that, if ignored, can lead to catastrophic engine damage in the event the timing belt breaks. Don't ignore this maintenance.
I just replaced the serpentine belt at about 75,000 miles on my 2006 Forenza
Yes , the 2.0 liter four cylinder engine in a 2006 Suzuki Forenza is an interference engine ( according to the Gates website , they make timing belts etcetera )
Above the oil pan, you need to take of the timing belt, timing belt rear cover, then the oil pan.
The Suzuki Forenza Maitnenence Schedule suggests inspecting it at 30,000 mile intervals and replacing it at 60,000 mile intervals. This car has an interference engine. That means that if the timing belt breaks the engine will suffer severe internal damage and will likely have to be replaced. Replacing the timing belt is rather expensive, but doing so may save you an engine..... Your not only supposed to check it at 30,000, but it needs to be adjusted. The belt will get loose after it has stretched and it needs to be tightened back up.
Changing the timing belt is a major undertaking and a mistake in installing the new one could cause severe damage to your engine. This is not a job for a do-it-yourself person. I would highly suggest you take it to a qualified mechanic and let them do the work.
ya take the old one off, and ya put the new one on. bingo bango...!that is not nice
On an interference engine it can damage the valves, heads, and pistons.
do you have a timing diagram for a suzuki 450 motorcycle
will a broken drive belt damage the motor of a 2006 Toyota Tacoma 4 cylinder truck
The 1999 Ford Taurus does not have a timing belt. It has a chain that requires no maintenance.
timing on an 03 suzuki xl7
yes!!!! if your timing belt is cracked or split, you should get it in asap! if your timing belt has broken the damage done all depends on what happened to break it/what were you doing when it broke? if you were driving when it happened ( not stopped) there will be extensive damage done if your car was on but you were stopped not as much damage.
