The manufacture lists the mileage at which the timing belt must be replaced. On vehicles that have an interference engine if the belt breaks you will have serious internal engine damage. The mileage at which it must be changed varies from 60,000 to 110,000 miles. As you did not list your make, model, year, or engine size I can give you no definitive answer. Look in your owners manual.
it has a chain and fun to change.
The 1994 Mercury Topaz has a chain and not a belt.
Has your timing belt been changed? From what I understand, the car automatically turns on the light every 60,000 miles (the recommended interval between timing belt changes). I changed mine well after the light came on (it came on while the previous owner still had it) and the belt was long overdue. Also, when you do change it, you have to manually reset the light.
If you are unsure it might be best to find someone who can and get them to teach you. But basicaly you have to disconnect the battery, jack up the car, remove the driver side front wheel. Remove the cover behind the wheel. Bar engine over until you can insert a locking bolt and nutinto the hole of the cam wheel that secures the wheel to the engine to prevent accidental movement. You have to remove the timing belt covers, remove the auxillary belts (probably best to change these to) Remove the auxillary crankshaft wheels to get complete access to the timing belt. Remove timing belt by whatever means. When fitting the new belt check the arrows on the belt are going in the same direction as the old belt. It is fiddly getting the new belt back on, and there is provision to move the tensioner to allow ease of refitting. Although for some reason I prefer to strugle without doing that. I just inch it on slowly until the belt sits central to the width of wheel. Then replace everything you have removed. Be sure to have the correct replacement belts before you change them!! There are variations!.

the timing belt needs to be replaced every 100,000 KM. I would change it a little prior to that. If it breaks, you can bend your valves.
