Timing Belt Broken...

[deermagnet]

Sue, I had mine done at 118K miles. I won't get it done again til 250K. Many who have changed it around 100K have said it still looked new! You could possibly take off one of the covers and try to see what condition it appears to be in.

History tells us your water pump will probably start leaking before the belt fails. Then you get the belt done along with a new water pump. That's actually the reason why I had my belt changed.

OK, great, I just crossed this one of my 2010 "to do" list as I only put on about 4k a year....looks like it may be time in, oh, I don't know, let's say closer to 2020!
Thanks again!

4K a year? Holy smokes, in the summer I put on 3K a month!

yeah I noticed you went from your 200k post to 206k in a real short time and wondering where you put on that many miles so fast. We're lucky and fortunate to have 3 cars...and live with trails all around us so we can be on a trail literally in 5 mins. Those pics I took of the new Cooper tires back in June, those are on the hill in front of my house...like 1000 ft away..it's got no name, so I call it a trail. That's why we moved to this part of AZ. Love it! But hey, I put in my time, I lived in LA for 15 yrs and did the LA freeway thing for about 80 miles/day.....glad that torture is over!
...sorry....
