My wife is facing this issue with her 05 Accent...dealer says around 80 000 to 90 000 kms. One thing I learned from YouTube video is if you are prone to jack rabbit starts and heavier throttle, the belt will wear faster due to higher stresses on the belt according to John who does part one and two of replacing timing belt on 02 Accent! I cannot stress how much cheaper it is to replace belt sooner rather than later because if you drop a valve on a piston due to belt breaking...you are in for a real major repair or possibly engine destruction!!

Is replacing a timing belt really necessary and what percentage of cars actually have problems with timing belts?

I have 1999 Hyundia Accent and I was told my timing belt may need to be replace because its over 100k miles on it. and Its driving real good and I have good mileage. Do i need to replace a timing belt? Belts stretch for one thing and for another, the cogs on timing belts wear out. Your car will have slop in timing and this means, though it might seem to be functioning OK, it's not because the timing of spark and fuel injection in each cylinder is not precise anymore. If you leave it long enough, the timing gears might jump a cog or two on the belt and this will cause misfiring and possible damage to your engine. So play it safe and change the belt according to the Hyundai recommendation.
