In short, ALL motors that run a timing belt will need it changing at some point. Engine type i.e. diesel, petrol, high power, extreem cam profiles etc. will depend on how frequently they are changed. A phone call to a dealer, if you don't have any documentation for your car/motor will give you the correct milage or time frame recommended by the manufacturer. Some engines made around the 2k era tho' had rather optomistic milages and due to over frequent failures, had to have service intervals reduced.
