Unfortunately you cannot tell by looking at the belt. It may look great and be ready to break. If you have no documentation that is has been replaced and it is past due for replacement then I would highly recommend you just go ahead and replace it. If your engine is a interference engine and the belt breaks you will serious internal engine damage.

Look in your owners manual and see if it was written down. Contact the previous owner. There is no way to look at the belt and know for sure. If your vehicle has an interference engine, I would not take a chance. If you are not 100% positive it has been changed then have it replaced.

How do you tell if your timing belt needs to be changed?

You cannot tell by looking at it. For this reason it must be changed at a set time period of miles or years. Without knowing the make, model, engine, & year I cannot tell you when it should be changed. Warning: If the engine is an interference engine and the belt breaks you will have internal engine damage.


How can you tell if the timing belt has been changed on a 94 integra?

you cant really tell, per se, because not only is there a recommended mileage interval (60,000-90,000 miles) for changing it, but there is also the suggestion to change it approximately every 6 years. you can check for wear, however, by removing the valve cover and the upper timing belt cover and checking the teeth on the belt for obvious wear signs.


How do you know when the timing belt needs to be changed on a 2000 1.4 petrol opel astra?

You will have no symptoms that it needs to be changed. Also looking at it will not tell you whether it needs to be changed or not as it may look good and be ready to break. For this reason timing belts are required to be changed at a set mileage or years interval. Referred to your owners manual as to the maintenance schedule on the timing belt. It varies with manufacturer from 60,000 miles 110,000 miles.
