It will eventually break causing your engine to "jump time" and could cause more problems that are more costly to repair, it is much easier and less expensive to change a belt than it is to replace one.
Every 60,000 miles in a 93 Mazda Protege
does a 1997 1.5l maxda protege have a timing belt or timing chain. When should i change it.
Hoo I set the correct timing on a 1993 mazda protege
Mazda recommends that the belt be replaced every 105k.
timing belt
where is the thermostat on a 1999 mazda protege?
YOU DON'T WANT TO TRY THIS BY YOURSLF IF YOU HAVE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE
The 2000 Mazda Protege has electric fans, hence there is no fan belt to change.
transmition with chain.
I was looking at the Gates website ( they make timing belts etc. ) and for the 1600 cc engine in a 2003 Mazda Protege ( Canada ) it shows ( 60,000 miles )
On a 2003 Mazda Protege it must be changed at 105,000 miles. This is an interference engine and as such if the belt breaks serious engine damage will occur.
yes its a timing belt if its the 2.0 L fs engine
