How often do you change timing belt on Daewoo leganza?

I've read that the recommendation is every 60K. We have a number of these vehicles in our business and change every 50K. Even that hasn't kept us from having them break early.


What are the timing marks for a Daewoo leganza?

The timing marks are at the front top of the engine used to align the 2 camshaft gear timing marks after the front cover is removed. This is done after a new timing belt is installed or after a new water pump is installed which requires the belt to be removed and probably should be replaced with a new belt. Timing belts should be replaced between 60, 000 -75, 000 miles regardless of how well the engine is running. As in many cars these days, and with the Daewoo in particular due to interferrence between valves and pistons, if the old one breaks while the engine is running, the valves will bend or break with the good possibility of damage to pistons as well.

Does Daewoo Lanos have an interference fit engine?

All Daewoo Engines are interference fit Engines. Which means that if the timing belt rips while the engine is running the pistons will hit and bend the valves and you will have to get new valves and possibly a new cylinder head. Worst case scenario you will also have to get a new engine block if for some reason chunks or pieces of valve, piston or cylinder head damaged the cylinder bore and cracked the block while things were moving around. Daewoo Timing belts are recommended to be replaced at 60,000 miles but it is best to replace them before 60k as some people have had their timing belts break on them as soon as 61,000 miles.

Does the 2007 Honda Civic have a timing belt?

There is no timing belt. It is a timing chain. I have 130,000 miles and have not had any trouble. It will start making noise when it is time. Unlike timing belts which will break, timing chains wear out slowly.
