YES!! And also change the thermostat while in there. i have to agree... its not real expensive when you already have the timing belt off... i got one for $60 (new)
A mechanic old me about 100,000K
The timing belt should be changed every 90,000 miles.
It has a timing belt which must be changed every 106,000 miles.
Not sure what engine you have. My pathfinder has the 3.5L engine and it has a timing chain. I've heard that the timing chain doesn't need to be replaced until the engine wears out and requires a complete rebuild.
Timing chains are designed to last the life of the engine. A timing belt however should be changed around 100K.
i have a rover 75, 1.8. it has about 26,000 miles on clock. when does my timing belt need changing
It depends on the application, but the water pump, tensioner, and any idlers can be recommended.
You bought the vehicle just in time for the it's timing belt changed. The belt should be changed at 100k miles.
The Gates website ( they make timing belts etc. ) shows the timing belt should be changed at 60,000 mile intervals on a 1993 Lexus ls400
Timing belt changing is not part of routine maintenance for a vehicle, including an Astra GSI Turbo. A timing belt is to be left alone unless a problem arises with the timing in the engine.
If it is a 2.3 L 4 cylinder engine, the timing and balancer belt should be changed at 105,000 miles. I would suggest changing the water pump, camshaft and balancer seals at the same time.
When should the timing belts be changed on a 2001 Mitsubishi, Galant?
