Will your car make a ticking noise if the timing belt is going bad?

I don't think so. Replacing the timing belt is regularly scheduled maintenance. You can find out how often it should be replaced in the owners manual next to changing the oil, air filter, spark plugs, etc... It's replaced about every 50,000 miles or so depending on the car. A ticking noise can come from lots of things - low on oil, etc...

Should the distributor make a ticking noise?
If your vehicle has a timing belt and not a chain, you need to replace it immediately. My distributor made the same ticking noise and it turned out to be the timing belt had a frayed piece on it and this piece was the source of the noise. Before I could figure it out, the belt broke and left me stranded on the roadside.

Your engine makes a ticking noise?
With the Dawoo Nubira if you ear a ticking noise check immediately for a bad timing belt!!! The service intervals for those are 5 years or 60,000 miles. But they are also susceptible to dry rot. If that belt goes you could be calling the junk yard to come get your car... The Dawoo Nubria has what is called an "interference" engine. Which means that if the belt fails completely the valves will be hanging open when the piston comes to the top of the cylinder bending valves in the head and destroying the head. A timing belt cost about $250 USD to replace in a shop. If it fails it will cost you thousands of dollars to repair. That being said,.. there are other things that can cause a ticking sound. Bad gas, worn or out of adjustment valves, engine timing, ect. But none of those things bear the consequences of the worn out timing belt. So if your belt is out of maintenance parameters CHANGE THAT BELT!!! Mine takes me about 2 hours to change myself in my driveway. I change mine at 50K, and the part only cost me $50 USD.
