You will not know. It may look great and be ready to snap. That is why you are required to replace the belt at a set mileage. If the engine is an interference engine and the belt breaks you will be more than just stranded with a non-running engine. You will have major internal engine damage. Replace the belt at the interval that is listed in your owners manual and do not neglect this maintenance.

How do you know if your timing belt is going bad on a 2001 Ford Taurus?

AnswerIf this engine has a timing belt, there is no way to know if a timing belt is going bad unless you look at it and it is frayed or cracked. That is why they are replaced at a predetermined mileage interval. The belt can look good and be ready to fail. Replace the belt according to the mileage interval listed in your owner's manual.AnswerIt is highly unlikely the Taurus/Sable has a timing BELT - unless it is a Taurus SHO model.See "Related Questions" below for more
