Replace every 60,000 miles.
does a 1997 1.5l maxda protege have a timing belt or timing chain. When should i change it.
This was for a 1994 but try searching here. How do you Change a fan belt on 94 prizm?
I can't say for sure, but I have a 2001 Prizm and called some mechanics to look into having the belt changed, and they told me I didn't need to because it has a chain. According to the repair manual from 1993 through 1997 the Prizm used a timing belt and was an interference engine. From 1998 until end of production the Prizm used a timing chain. same with its mechanical twin, the Toyota corolla.
Both are 14" wheels. Should not be any difference
VW say it should be changed every 60,000mls
i would change it when i change the timing belt, about every 70,000 miles
The timing chain should last the life of the engine and not maintenance is normally required. It is replaced when the engine is rebuilt.
According to the 1997 Mercury Villager Scheduled Maintenance Guide : The timing BELT should be changed at ( 105,000 miles ) * also , the Gates website shows it to be an INTERFERENCE ENGINE so if the timing belt breaks , engine damage will occur
160000km
