Sorry but I must be blunt here. If you do not know where the timing belt is, then you have no business trying to replace it. This is an interference engine. Install the timing belt incorrectly on this engine and when you start it, you will have engine damage. Take it to a professional for the belt replacement. Also replace the water pump at the same time to save yourself labor costs down the road.

How to Plan for a Timing Belt Replacement?

The timing belt is the part of your car’s engine that make sure that the machinery works in an organized manner. It turns the engine at the appropriate rate so that the pistons fire at just the right moment to create the optimum combustion. Since the timing belt is made from rubber and cloth, it will eventually wear out. If you are prepared for the inevitable timing belt replacement it can be an easy process that does not leave you stranded on the side of the road.Usual Costs of Parts and LaborTalk with your usual mechanic about the typical parts and labor charges that are involved in replacing a timing belt on your car. Every make and model is a little different, so your estimate will be specifically dealing with the kind of car that you drive. Your mechanic may be reticent to give you an exact quote because some aspects of timing belt replacement depend on several factors that are unknown until the belt breaks. Let him or her know that you understand this estimate is only for planning purposes. Once you have a rough idea of how much the procedure usually costs, you can begin to save money toward having the work done when the time comes.Typical Replacement TimeThe time it takes to replace a timing belt depends on the make and model of your car. It also depends on whether or not the timing belt caused any damage when it broke. If there were no problems and the timing belt did not do any damage, most auto repair shops can replace a timing belt in a single day. Sometimes they may need to order new parts, which can add time to the repair. The best way to plan for a timing belt replacement is to have your timing belt looked at once every 6 months to see if there is any unusual wear or tear. If you can diagnose a timing belt before it actually breaks, it will be much faster and easier to have it replaced. When you wait for the belt to break before replacement, you could damage other parts of your engine as well.
