i have a 2001 dodge stratus and the timing belt broke, #1 how difficult is it to change? #2 should the water pump also be replaced too?
How do you change a timing belt on a 2001 dodge stratus?
you need to replace the timing belt with the tension-er ,they make timing kit that you buy that comes with everything needed to do this with,and you need a good repair manual,because it will explain this job real good and will also give you illustrated pictures of how its done,and its not easy to do on that car,if it has the 2.4 in it you in for big job,i did one a while back and it takes all day as fast as you can work to get this one done and back together and running again,and there a real pain to get back in time also,there's to many marks to line up that you could easily get of without pics of how its done,get a good haynes repair manual they offer the best pics and advice on how to do this one,and you need to replace the water pump as well while you got it off,good luck.
How do you change a timing belt on a 2001 dodge stratus?
On some, most, you have to remove the engine to replace the timing belt. On some cars you do not. I don't believe you have to on your Dodge.
One thing you need to keep in mind and watch for. When some cars break a timing belt, it also can cause internal damage to your car, like a broken valve.
There are 2 types of engines and they are called %26quot;Interference%26quot; and %26quot;Non-interference%26quot;. An engine designated as an %26quot;Interference%26quot; engine, there is not sufficient clearance between some engine parts, so when the timing belt brakes, you can usually expect internal problems as well.
Here is a list of engine that ARE Interference engines to see if yours is listed: 2.0 DOHC (Double Over-Head Cam), 2.4 SOHC and DHOC, 2.5 V-6, 3.0 DOHC and 3.2 DOHC. If you have one of those engines, expect internal damage.
Should your engine have to be removed to replace the timing belt, it will cost you around $1,000. Hard to quote a price from different states. If you have internal damage, it could mean a new engine.
If you have a Non-interference engine and you are able to replace it yourself, yest, replace the Water Pump. If I had the engine out, I probably would also change the oil pump. An oil pump that goes out down the highway will ruin your engine before you can get stopped.
If the engine has to be pulled and you take it to a dealer, and you have a Non-interference engine, let him know that you are aware of what you are talking about. Don't want him to feed you garbage.
The chrysler 2.4 DOHC motor isn't an interference motor. Not sure if the SOHC 2.4, 2.7, or SOHC 3.0 used in stratus' are.
I would change the waterpump along with the timing belt tensioner.
For example, I swapped a 96 Stratus 2.4 motor into my neon. The motor had 36k and prone to failure headgasket. So I installed an updated headgasket. A year later, I had to replace the waterpump. It would have been alot easier had I done it while the motor was still on the stand.
Here is a good link on the best timing belt tensioner for the Chrysler I4 motors. http://forums.neons.org/viewtopic.php?f=鈥?/a>
I know money can be tight for people. This is one of those times that being cheap can cost you more in the long run.
This job is tough. You need a strong puller for the crank pulley. Probably need some heat to help. To help time the motor, make a tool to lock the cams in place. There are holes in the cam just for this.
In my neon, it would have been faster and easier to remove the motor. But I'm experienced enough to have the motor out/in of the car within a few hours.

How often do you need to change a timing belt for a 2001 mitsubishi galant?
what are the signs when it is time to change the timing belt?
How often do you need to change a timing belt for a 2001 mitsubishi galant?
I had an original one changed at 80,000 miles. There are no signs. I would not exceed 80,000 miles for the original belt. It's not worth taking the risk. The manufacturer's recommended interval is 60,000 miles.
How often do you need to change a timing belt for a 2001 mitsubishi galant?
there are no signs it just breaks and leaves a big dent in your checking account ...... i think that one is every 90k or 5 years
every 60,000 miles
60,000 Miles Maximum
100000miles there is no signs for this
Check your owners manual, but most need to be done @ 60K. It's best to have this done by the dealer. Any failure, or amateur error will kill your engine. Also verify depending on which engine your Galant has that it's not chain driven.
I think it's every 60,000 miles. That's when I changed mine.

Question about timing belts?
hey I Have a 2003 honda oddysey and it has 125,000 miles. but I have not changed the timing belt! am i in trouble? or will it last a while longer. I know with timing belts you never know but maybe there is someone out there who has had similar cars and went longer without any worries.
Question about timing belts?
You're not in trouble until it actually breaks, because your vehicle IS what is known as an interference fit engine. That means that if the belt breaks, the valves and pistons are almost certain to collide with each other, causing major to extremely severe engine damage.
That being said, 125K miles is really pushing it. If you were to ask me if you can make it to the garage without it breaking, I would have to be drunk to offer any such assurance at all for fear you might sue me if it breaks. LOL Here's what is recommended for your vehicle;
______________________________________鈥?br>
%26quot;On 1997 %26amp; later models, under normal conditions, replace at intervals of 105,000 miles or every 84 months. If vehicle is operated at ambient temperatures under -20 degrees Fahrenheit or above 110 degrees Fahrenheit, replace at 60,000 mile intervals.%26quot;
Question about timing belts?
You're coming up on that real quick. Get it fixed now. Having it go can cause a lot more damage and cost you a whole lot more.
it is time to change the belt. that is a long time for that car.
It depends I don't know what kind of timing belt is in the car if is is metal it shouldn'r have to be changed but if it is rubber you should get it looked at as soon as possible you never know with rubber cux 125 000 is quite a few miles
It's not the car but the belt and you have been sooo lucky, don't push it!!
If it breaks while on the road, you will need to have it towed and the engine examined for piston or valve damage. Then you need available shop time. If you schedule this repair you will only be inconvenienced the hours it is under the wrench.
Plan on it being fixed not broken.
125,000 miles is past the recommended life of this belt, so it gave good value.
replace it. your on borrowed time, it could break anytime. an engine repair is more costly than the belt.
120K is usually as high as any belt is rated. Most are around 60K, some are even lower.
Usually you can find coupons that saves you some $ if you get it changed there.vc tv card4

How often do timing belts go out?
How often do timing belts go out, and at around what average mileage? I know most manufacturers recommend 60k miles. It seems it's the new buzz to hit people with timing belt changes, yet in all the cars I've owned I've never had to have one replaced.
How often do timing belts go out?
It depends on the car.
Crappy cars like the Chevy Aveo will break a belt at 50k-60k miles.
Decent cars recommend replacing them at 100k-120k.
Check your owners manual to get the recommended replacement interval.
Whether you replace it before or after it breaks depends on what kind of motor you have. There are 2 types -
Non-interference - in this motor the valves and pistons can never %26quot;interfere%26quot; with each other. Some Toyota motors and others are such.
Interference - in this motor, the valves and pistons can %26quot;interfere%26quot;. That means if the timing belt breaks you WILL bend valves because they will be in the way when a piston reaches the top of its travel. This is VERY expensive - $1500+ Most Honda motors are interference type because they allow for a shorter motor and lower hood profile.
Either way, if the belt breaks you will be stranded and guaranteed a charge for a tow truck as well.
I personally would never let the timing belt go longer than about 20% over recommended mileage.
How often do timing belts go out?
one or twice on a vehicles life. dont change till its broken. even if u risk ur life. thats like replacing every car part. bs.
I'd recommend the mileage in your owners manual.
If sitting roadside waiting for a wrecker is OK with you...Wait till it breaks...
if you chose the wait option,you might make sure you don't have an engine that will be damaged if the belt breaks also,that can get expensive. depends on your luck.
You'll find timing belt in foreign cars like Toyota, Honda, and Mitsubishi, don't wait until the break to replace them they will cause more damge to the engine if they break. Newer model now come with chain instead of rubber belt. Your other cars were probobly domestic cars with chain belts.
The timing belt is not a new thing, it has been around for years. The need to replace it is due to the importance of what it does. It keeps the valves in the correct position when the piston comes up to compress the gases and create the power that you need to have forward motion. When the belt brakes, the timing of the valves and pistons is no longer there and a lot of internal damage can take place. Not to mention being stuck where ever it breaks. You don't drive your tires till they go flat, you put on new ones so you won't have a problem. Same goes for a timing belt.
Go with the owners manual. If it breaks it could cause severe damage to the engine because the valves can hit the pistons. It is preventative maintenance.
WHAT KIND OF CAR!?!?!?!?!?! Year, make, model, engine size, country of origin?!?!?!! MORE INFO!?!?!?! Read your owner's manual. Many modern engines are interference fit engines. This improves MPG's and power, but can cause a disaster if the belt is NOT changed in time. Cars that have timing CHAINS, even need to be replaced, depending on age and manufacturer. READ YOUR MANUAL!!!!

Does a timing Chain on a 1993 need to be replaced?
1993 Nissan Altima
I was hearing a rattling sound coming from the engine. sounded like their was something jumping up and down in a confined space. Car was driving fine and then startes slowing down and died under a light. Turned Key and started car back up and the car turned over and drove home fine. Went out 20 minutes later and the car refuse to start just made this sound like it was about to start but did not. let car alone and it started 2 days later turned over but when I hit the accelerator it does not accelerate and it also dies within 25 seconds or so of starting and it sounds like it is backfiring (those popping Sounds)
mechanic diagnosis: Change timing belt and it will cost about 1100 dollars. I have no idea if he is taking me for a ride ..Please advise accordingly.
Does a timing Chain on a 1993 need to be replaced?
I would expect it has a lot of miles on it. That being the case, you need to replace the timing belt on most cars at about 50K. It may have done significant damage to the engine. I think he is definitely overcharging if all he is doing is changing the belt for $1100. Talk to him and see what all is included. You may want to consider installing a good used engine if you want to keep the car. I would also not try to start it again until it is fixed as you may be able to save the current engine.
Does a timing Chain on a 1993 need to be replaced?
If it is the timing belt don't try to run it anymore, you may do more damage. I'm not sure on the car how long it takes but some cars take awhile to even get to the timing belt. Alot of parts in the way.

When should I change my Timing belt?
I have a 1999 plymouth voyager that hass 155,000 miles,and i know i should be changing the timing belt pretty soon,but what i want to know is at what mileage are these timing belts suppose to be changed by?And how much is the cost or more or less what would it cost?and im guessing i would need to change the water pump at the same time..
When should I change my Timing belt?
First you have to determine which engine you have.
You can have a 2.4 4 cyl, or a 3.0 V6. Both use a timing belt, and a belt driven water pump.
On 1994 %26amp; prior models, replace at 60,000 mile intervals. On 1995-96 CA vehicles, replacement at 60,000 mile intervals is recommended but not required. On all other models except 1997-99 Caravan, Town %26amp; Country %26amp; Voyager, replace at 100,000 mile intervals (if not previously replaced). On 1997-98 Caravan %26amp; Voyager models, manufacturer does not recommend a specific maintenance interval. On 1999 Caravan %26amp; Voyager models, inspect at 60.000 miles %26amp; replace if required, then inspect again at 90,000 miles and replace if this was not done previously, then inspect again at 120,000 miles.
The 3.3 and 3.8 V6's use a chain which requires replacement only if broken.
Since the belts have to be removed to gain access to the water pump, it is a convenient time to replace it, the thermostat and do a good coolant flush.
When should I change my Timing belt?
yeah your slightly overdue...yes replace the water pump as well.
Belst usually last for 60-90 thousand miles..depending..cost is depending on the place you take it to..dealer is around 600 bucks the last time I had one checked on..Im sure its cheaper at your mom and pop shops..
50,000mi is what they suggest. Time for the belt and the water pump.
if it aint broke dont fix it!!
Your water pump as little to do with the water pump but you should change the water pump if your coolant isn't running through the car like it should... But your timing belt should be change if it's slipping and your cam shaft isn't pushing the pushrod correctly and your pistons aren't firing in order...
Most knowledgeable people will recommend changing the water-pump when changing the timing belt, because it's a relatively cheap part, but a lot of labour to change. Most of the work to change the t-belt is also the same work involved in changing the water-pump on most FWD cars. Change the Water Pump too.
60,000 miles or 100,000km is the usual recommended interval.
every 80,000 miles i replace my timeing belt

How much is it cost to change timing belt for mazda 626 V6?
hello, Is anyone know how much will it cost me to change timing belt and water pump for mazda 626ES V6
How much is it cost to change timing belt for mazda 626 V6?
Noone can really give you that answer. Depends on what brand of parts you use on the car, where you get them from and where you have them installed at. Best bet is to take it to some shops. Every shop has parts suppliers that they deal with, if you are trying to do it on the cheap than stress that to them... but than again, you get what you pay for. I work at a shop, believe me.
As far as how much its going to cost to install them, that also depends on the shops hourly rate. I'm going to guess its going to be a pretty penny though. I tried to look up the labor for you from shopkey but its not working correctly from my house. Sorry.
Good Luck.how is it to work two jobs linux web hosting

Need to change timing belt, serpentine belt & oil pan on Acura TL. What other things to get done?
Please recommend other repair items that should get done when I am spending on the labor cost to get these done. How much should I expect to spend on these repairs in Portland, OR?
Need to change timing belt, serpentine belt %26amp; oil pan on Acura TL. What other things to get done?
Definitely change the water pump along with the timing belt. There is very little extra labor, and you don't want it to start leaking (requiring having to do the whole job again) before the next timing belt change, or, even worse, to seize and ruin the belt and your engine. Looks like $600-$900 will cover it all - see the first source.

When is the time to change your timing belt?
I have bought my 1994 honda civic in 2005 from the dealership. I figured maybe before I bought it maybe they replaced all that stuff already. I have been driving all this time and I am kinda worried because I have to commute, a hour to school 3 days a week. I didn't want my car to just die becasue the timming belt snaps and me being stuck. I probably put about a little over 30,000 miles in to it already. When should I change the timming belt?
When is the time to change your timing belt?
The Timing Belt replacement interval for a Honda of that vintage is every 60k miles. If you don't know when it was last done, do it. Many, mmany poeple NEVER change the Timing Belt because of the cost so there is the possibility yours is original!
Given the age of the vehicle while your in there I would recommend replacing the Timing Belt Tensioner, any idler pulley's (these all come together in a %26quot;Timing Belt Component Kit) and the Water Pump, which is driven by the T-belt as well. This is all just preventive maintenance but cheaper to do while your already in there than later on.
Your Honda has what is called an interference engine in which, should the T-belt brake, pistons and valves will come together in nasty and expensive ways. An ounce of prevention...

When is the time to change your timing belt?
If in doubt change it, but usually go be the manual.
you should change it at 60000 miles if you dont you stand a chance of blowing your engine. it might cost you 200 to change the belt or 2500 to get a new engine
the owners manual will give you the correct mileage if you don't have one ask the dealer and when you reach that mileage don't procrastinate - changing the belt is cheaper than changing what a broken belt damages
do u mean the serpentine belt ? its on the outside of the motor the timing belt (chain) is internal and should be done by a certified mechanic due to timing of the motor being kept right. if you mean the serpentine belt then it should be changed about every 40,000 to 50,000. if u look at it and can see cracks in it change it
I can offer a little experience on this. I've had 2 Honda civics. Both failed their belts right at about 90000 miles. (I know, I know...) FIrst one happened right as I was getting divorced and the second one happened at the same time my business was failing. First time I got lucky, my mechanic put a new belt on and it ran ok. He said that happens about 20% of the time. Haven't had the second fixed yet. I have figured out that to verify that the belt is what failed, all I had to do was pop the oil filler cap, and look at the cam with a flashlight while somebody else cranks the engine.
i own a repair shop and on any car i change them at every sixty thousand miles whether they need it or not,that's whats recommended and if you change them at that mileage you don't have to worry about it,i make it a rule to change all the belts every sixty thousand miles,and this way you can drive it instead of worrying about a belt that might break on it or something.good luck with it hope this helps.
You need to check the interval of change first. If it's 100,000 miles, and you're on 110,000, the time is NOW. Some cars will go a long time, others only 40,000 or so. I doubt a dealership would have replaced it just because, but you'd have to ask them if they did, depending on the mileage on the car. All cars are different so there are no convenient answers, except to find out what engine you have, the year, model, then you can find out the timing belt replacement interval from a dealership or reference book.
50,000 miles is a good time to change the belt.
While your at it, change the water pump at the same
time, since you have to remove it to get to the belt.
Relatively inexpensive and good preventive measure.
When is the time to change your timing belt?
The Timing Belt replacement interval for a Honda of that vintage is every 60k miles. If you don't know when it was last done, do it. Many, mmany poeple NEVER change the Timing Belt because of the cost so there is the possibility yours is original!

When to change a 99 Mitsubishi Eclipse Timing Belt?
Hey all, I was just wondering on whens the best time to change the timing belt on a 99 Mitsubishi Eclipse. Previous owner did not change it at all. It has about 95k miles on it.
When to change a 99 Mitsubishi Eclipse Timing Belt?
it HAS to be changed EVERY 60,000 or you are asking for major problems WHEN it lets go. you have to be religous about changing it every 60,000 on these cars or you will be having your head rebuilt, and possible piston damage when it breaks or slips the valves WILL hit the pistons.
When to change a 99 Mitsubishi Eclipse Timing Belt?
mits recommends every 60,000 miles
Change it now just in case. You don't want it to break because then you will be rebuilding your engine possibly.
It's time. If I remember right, it should have been changed at 75k. You want to change it before it breaks.
Just over 50 thousand miles, they nearly all break. General tune up, including plugs, should happen at 50k miles

How oftern do you change a timing belt.?
I own a 2002 kia spectra. How often do I change the timing belt??
How oftern do you change a timing belt.?
Factory shops tell you every 60k. Independent shops tell you every 100k. My suggestion besides looking it up in your manual is call the dealer. Besides most cars have made the engines so small (not sure about kia, but honda and newer toyotas are) the piston and valves are so close that if the belt breaks you are replacing pistons and valves. New engine or 300-400 bucks every 60k????
How oftern do you change a timing belt.?
Your vehicle is an %26quot;interference fit%26quot; engine. That means that if the belt lets go, you're looking at major repairs. Bent valves at a minimum, if you're lucky. Ruined cylinder head or holes in your pistons are a possibility. Recommended interval to change is every 60K miles. I wouldn't push it past that.
Look in the owner's manual or service manual. But I'd probably check them every time you change the oil to see if there are any cracks or if it's getting worn out. If in doubt, just get a new one. They're only about 5 bucks any way.
Trust me, I just bought two. They might be more than 5, but DEFINITELY not 40. They're probably not too hard to install yourself anyway. You might need a special tool though.
By the way, it's not called a timing belt. Timing belts are WAY more expensive, and it will cost A LOT more to get put in. The timing belt is the the belt that drives the camshaft.
A timing belt is NOT $5. They usually run closer to $40+ just for the belt. The labor to have someone put it on can be expensive. I had one done for a little over $400, including the belt.
Generally, timing belts get changed any between 50k to 75k. The best bet would be to check your manual. If you don't have one, call a Kia dealer and ask.
Most factory suggests 60-80,000 miles aftermarket about 30-60,000 miles. I have seen them with well over 100,000 miles
every 60000-80000 miles
YOU CHANGE IT WHEN IT STARTS TO WEAR DOWN OR STARTS TO CRACK OR RUB MAKE NOISES ETC
it shuld be still covered by the warranty kia and hyundai are good for 100,000 miles .
i'll say go to the service tell them the timming belt is bad and my car is uder warranty so that's the key . just straight talk SHOW THEM U DONT TAKE BULLSHIT.i do that a lot when there is problems or items
return like that it work well .
timming belt is usually go bad at from 80,000 to 150,000 miles maybe more it depend on how the car been driven

Should i change the timing belt on my 98 Mits Eclipse?
I heard its recommended that you change the timing belt every 80k miles. I have a 98 Mitsubishi eclipse GSX. How much will the total cost be to get it changed?
Should i change the timing belt on my 98 Mits Eclipse?
When the car is due for the timing belt replacement, it's a very good idea to follow the manufacturer's recommendation. If the timing belt breaks, you're not only replacing the belt but also replacing some of the internal parts of the engine. Also it's a good idea to change the water pump when changing timing belt(save lots of $$$ on labor if done at the same time) any honest mechanic would recommend that you replace the water pump when changing the timing belt. Timing belt and water pump replacement should cost you about $500. little more or less.
80k miles is 20k miles over due. the belt should be replaced at 60k miles.
Should i change the timing belt on my 98 Mits Eclipse?
At a shop about $500.00 if done correctly, All seals, belts and gaskets that parts and labor.
interference engine! get it changed when it is due. If it breaks you will do expensive damage to your engine. find an honest independent shop, as you friends who they use. good luck.
Yes you should get it changed with a genuine belt, If it snaps and your lucky the car will stop and need a tow truck, if it breaks and your unlucky it will screw the entire motor up. If you dont have the money just yet take it to a mechanic and get him to check the condition the belt is in

When to change a Honda Accord 2000 timing belt?
Okay i bought my car last year and it was 152k miles. The guy before me bought it when it was 122k miles and never did any repair with the car. Do you think that the timing belt has been changed already? Should i go ahead and change the timing belt or should i wait? I believe you have to change the timing belt every 80k miles right?
When to change a Honda Accord 2000 timing belt?
The change interval for that car is first at 90K and then every 60K thereafter, I believe. If he did change the belt it is likely time to change it again anyway. If he didn't, then it definitely needs to be changed.
When to change a Honda Accord 2000 timing belt?
i would it would be better to be safe then sorry because if the belt fails you will be out a lot more money then just the belt
Timing belts should be swapped every 60K miles.
If you plan to have the car for any length of time, you might as be safe and do it now.
Good luck...
The frequency for replacement can vary from car to car. Check your manual in the glove box and it will give you the exact mileage for replacement.
On both engines the 2.3 and the 3.0 they are interference motors, meaning if the timing belt breaks you will have engine damage....

Under normal conditions, replace at intervals of 105,000 miles or every 84 months. If vehicle is operated at ambient temperatures under 鈭?0掳F or above 110掳F, replace at 60,000 mile intervals or every 48 months.

i need to change the timing belt for a 1999 acura tl, any idea how much is it ?
How much it cost a to change a timing belt for 1999 acura tl ?
Anywhere from 300-1200 depending on how experienced and honest the shop is that's doing the repair, as well as the quality of the parts and what parts are changed when doing the job. You should have the shop check and or replace the drive belts, waterpump, tensioner, idler and any seals if their leaking while they change the timing belt. Good luck and hope this helps.
How much it cost a to change a timing belt for 1999 acura tl ?
If the belt has broken, you can count on a fairly large repair bill. Usually, valves get bent. If your belt is still intact, do the right thing and let the delaership do it. They will use genuine factory parts with a REAL warranty, and use the correct water pump and coolant, if required. Call a few dealers to see if they have competitive prices. If you have an outside repair shop do the work, make SURE that they are using genuine Acura parts and NOT some aftermarket junk. You will probably need new tensioners and rollers. GOOD LUCK!!

Should i change my timing belt of my car?
i have a 2000 toyota corolla. I was planning to change the timing belt of my car but it only has 80,000 miles on it.it's an used car without a carfax report.A lot of people told me that it's better if I just change the timing belt because I don't know if the previous owner change it.what should i do?
Should i change my timing belt of my car?
If you're not sure, change it - especially if you can do the job yourself. The belt will run you about $15-20. Most Corollas do not have interference engines, which means that you won't cause additional damage when it lets go. Check the tensioner too. Any roughness indicates a need to replace. They run about $40-60.
Recommended changing interval is 60K but I've seen them last almost double that. They are easiest to change if they haven't broken first since you won't have to retrieve about a 100 or so teeth and align the crank and cam match marks .
You can also remove just the top section of the cover and look. Turn the engine CW with a socket wrench on the crank pulley bolt a little bit at a time and examine the belt. If the belt appears to be in good condition AND you can still read the printing on the back, it's probably been changed.

Should i change my timing belt of my car?
change it... whole tuneup!.. if you dont change and it tears.. you cant say oh well, let me change it now.. then youd have to change bent valves and maybe cams.. its just better to do change it!
G MONKEY is spot on with his advice !
Take a look at the belt. Look at the part that has teeth and see if you can find cracks.
If it got cracks, you better replace that, change the tensioner too. This is what keeps the belt tight.
Besides 80T is about due date for toyota's anyway. While you're at it, change the transmission and gear oil too.
If ur going to be driving the car for a long time , you might wont to go ahead and change this will save you money in the long run. Now if ur not going to keep the car very long ,then jut drive it like it is.
take the advice of everyone else and change it unless you want to risk getting stuck somewhere. unless you have an interference engine it wont be a big deal to fix when it goes but you will still be stuck where it stops. i will say its ASTONISHING how long a belt can last though even if the cogs are almost completely gone and the belt only halfway on the top pulley. back in high school we ran a old gti with no belt cover, really worn belt that was only riding halfway on the top pulley at 7000+ rpm and it never broke or popped off or skipped. but seriously you are supposed to change it like 60000 miles or so i think. you could pull the cover and just give it a good long look and decide if it looks old or not thats what i do myself.cryptoapi vs capicom columnheader

Should you change your timing belt and water pump together?
I have a 2000 vehical and have 130,000 miles and was wondering if I should change my timing belt and water pump together?
Should you change your timing belt and water pump together?
I would given the mileage, it'll save a breakdown later.
Should you change your timing belt and water pump together?
Okay, what type of Vehicle do you have? You can google it and it may be on YouTube. But yes, you should be able to, when you change the timing belt you take off the belt tensioner / pulley and once you do that you should be able to change the water pump with ease. But usually with vehicles that age I'd change the belt and the pump while I'm at it.
No...no need to replace both! If the water pump is working just fine why replace it? I'd only replace it if you have to remove it to get to the timing belt ( some cars you do...some don't). If that is the case...I'd have the mechanic ( or if I do it myself) replace all of the gaskets and any parts that normally need replacement by 100k miles...especially if you haven't had to replace them yet.
Depends on the car. Some cars you must remove the water pump to change the belt so it is recomended for the extra few bucks. If it must be removed then i would change it.
rd
It depends on the car, in several models, like most mitsubishis, you have to take the timing belt off to change the water pump. So then it's an included operation and there's no extra cost associated with the labor to do the timing belt, it just makes it a convenient, cost saving time to do it. There's no rule about changing water pumps and timing belts together. If it's not an included operation there's no point to do them at the same time. The timing belt is good preventative maintenance but there's no need to change the water pump before it's showing signs, and there are plenty of them, that it's going to die.
Why are you keeping the NAME of your car a SECRET?!?!?! On many 4 cylinder engines, the water pump is used as a pulley for the timing belt, and so should be changed. Use only genuine coolant, timing belt, and pump from YOUR car-makers dealership. Otherwise, you may not get extended service from it. If your pump and belt were never changed before, you are extremely LUCKY. Most timing belts require replacing at 60-100,000 mile intervals. READ your MANUAL!!!!
On many cars it is time consuming to get to either part and since you would have to remove many of the same parts to get to either the timing belt or water pump it makes sense to change both while you are at it.
The difference to change both probably wont be that much more than just changing one of them and will save money down the road.
On Honda and Lexus, the dealer ALWAYS seems to recommend changing the water pump when the timing belt service is up. My dealer made it a standard thing. Well, yes, it is an opportunity to make money, but it doesnt 'hurt' to chenge it every 80k or so. I think the water pump is probably a lot more durable than that, and the timing belt job would probably be a lot cheaper if they didn't change the pump too.
I sure would. While the belt is off, half of the water pump job is done already. The pump is going to go soon anyway. Might as well kill two birds with one stone.

If that is the case...I'd have the mechanic ( or if I do it myself) replace all of the gaskets and any parts that normally need replacement by 100k miles...especially if you haven't had to replace them yet.
Depends on the car. Some cars you must remove the water pump to change the belt so it is recomended for the extra few bucks. If it must be removed then i would change it.
rd
It depends on the car, in several models, like most mitsubishis, you have to take the timing belt off to change the water pump. So then it's an included operation and there's no extra cost associated with the labor to do the timing belt, it just makes it a convenient, cost saving time to do it. There's no rule about changing water pumps and timing belts together. If it's not an included operation there's no point to do them at the same time. The timing belt is good preventative maintenance but there's no need to change the water pump before it's showing signs, and there are plenty of them, that it's going to die.
Why are you keeping the NAME of your car a SECRET?!?!?! On many 4 cylinder engines, the water pump is used as a pulley for the timing belt, and so should be changed. Use only genuine coolant, timing belt, and pump from YOUR car-makers dealership. Otherwise, you may not get extended service from it. If your pump and belt were never changed before, you are extremely LUCKY. Most timing belts require replacing at 60-100,000 mile intervals. READ your MANUAL!!!!
On many cars it is time consuming to get to either part and since you would have to remove many of the same parts to get to either the timing belt or water pump it makes sense to change both while you are at it.
The difference to change both probably wont be that much more than just changing one of them and will save money down the road.
On Honda and Lexus, the dealer ALWAYS seems to recommend changing the water pump when the timing belt service is up. My dealer made it a standard thing. Well, yes, it is an opportunity to make money, but it doesnt 'hurt' to chenge it every 80k or so. I think the water pump is probably a lot more durable than that, and the timing belt job would probably be a lot cheaper if they didn't change the pump too.
I sure would. While the belt is off, half of the water pump job is done already. The pump is going to go soon anyway. Might as well kill two birds with one stone.
Price to change timing belt and water pump?
how much will it cost to have a timing belt and water pump at a independent auto shop? the dealer is asking for $1100, its an acura.
Price to change timing belt and water pump?
Depends on what year. The newer these cars get the harder and harder it is to do this kind of work.
Is it a front-wheel drive? If it is, that makes replacing the water pump and timing belt infinitely more difficult.
That kind of job is always pricey, but I would suggest looking around a bit first. I don't remember ever charging over a grand even on the most horrible little Japanese cars for that kind of job.
Price to change timing belt and water pump?
wow that's alot. It is a tough job. the parts cost about 100-200 but it's all labor. 1100 though is a lot. it depends what year it is. I would pay that for an -05-08 but any earlier I'd llook around

Car humming after a timing belt change?
I recently changed the timing belt in my car. Now there is a humming sound coming from the engine. What could it be? Thank you.
Car humming after a timing belt change?
timing belt rubbing, tensioner maybe damaged, pulley misaligned, maybe a loose bolt, waterpump? lots of things really. i would tear it back down to be sure its not something bad cause you dont want it to break!

How much should I pay for a timing belt change for a 2003 audi A4?
I have an Audi a4 with 57K miles, and it is due for 60K service. The dealer asks for $800, and it doesn't include timing belt.
My question is how much should I pay for replacing timing belt? and is $800 a fair price to charge for 60k service?
Thanks.
How much should I pay for a timing belt change for a 2003 audi A4?
The scheduled Audi time is 2.6 hours for timing belt change + parts.$800 is expensive for 60,000 service.Regards Mick.
How much should I pay for a timing belt change for a 2003 audi A4?
I have a 2004 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro with 76K Miles and just had my timing belt replaced. At the same time, I replaced the water pump, serpentine belt, 4 spark plugs and cylinder 1 coil - $615.23
If you replace the timing belt, you might just as well do the water pump and serpentine belt.
Sure 800 is alright you could probable find it cheaper but since its from the dealer its usally worth it. I would just do it myself and save 700 something dollars.
dunno
Well, that particular motor has zero clearance, which means if the belt breaks, lets say at 50 mph, you will be looking at...
The timing belt on my 98 Audi A4 just failed, at about 50 MPH. I
haven't taken it to the dealer yet (Scared! They said possibly from
$1000 to $4500 depending).
Of course, if you have the tools and knowledge, you can buy the part and do it yourself.

What parts are needed for a timing belt change on a Lexus RX 300 2001?
I know it will get a timing belt, tensioner and water pump. Should the crank and camshft seals be replaced? Is there anything else that should be replaced as a preventative measure? My Lexus has 106,000 miles on it. I know the belt should have been replaced at 90,000 miles but I did not find that out until it had 105,000 miles on it.
What parts are needed for a timing belt change on a Lexus RX 300 2001?
It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to replace the crank seal while you have it out and apart. Seals %26amp; gaskets should be replaced if you see any type of seapage because the oil could ruin the new belt.cat Parameter.Add()

How do i change the timing belt on a scenic II?
I need to change the timing belt and the dephaser pully. Does anyone have a guide?
How do i change the timing belt on a scenic II?
you will need some locking tools for the camshafts and the crankshaft to replace the timing belt, also there is another tool required to lock the two camshaft pulleys together to enable you to change them. The camshaft dephaser pulley is a known problem with the 1.6 16valve engine, in fact it cost renault over 4 million pounds in warranty claims just for that part in 2007 ! You should be able to find instructions on how to replace these parts in an auto data timing belt manual, your local garage will probably have one of these, maybe they will give you a photocopy of the relevant pages, or try www.scenicforums.com. maybe someone there will have what you need

leave it to a garage to do as with out special tools and product knowledge you will cause engine damage and it will cost you a Fortune 2 be fixed
Really, I would leave it to a mechanic.

Need to replace my timing belt for my 94 civic and i am having a hard trouble taking out the crankshaft pully?
i am changing my timing belt on my 94 civic and i am having trouble taking out the crankshaft pulley, i already cut off all the other belt so i cant hold it with those,what is the best way to take it out without messing anything up?Also i will like to make sure if the bolt on the pulley is a reverse thread . is it or not?
Need to replace my timing belt for my 94 civic and i am having a hard trouble taking out the crankshaft pully?
Take the cover off the bottom of the transmission housing where the flywheel is and jam a big flat head screw driver between the upper part of the housing and a tooth on the flywheel. That's what I always do.
If it is on the driver's side, it's not reverse threads.
Need to replace my timing belt for my 94 civic and i am having a hard trouble taking out the crankshaft pully?
first problem i see is you cut belts when could have just loosen bolts and to remove lower pulley you remove bolts and use a gear puller could have used belt to help hold it keep it from spinning if you cant turn it one way try the other and air tool wil help since that nut is tight might need a big bar to pry with or a big hammer to beat of tool with or whats called a breaker bar
Honda crank pulley bolts are extremely tight. On the front of the balancer around the bolt you will notice a six sided hole that is designed for a special tool to hold the crank still while you loosen the bolt. If you do not have this tool the this will be extremely difficult to remove without an air impact wrench. If you get it off you will need a puller to actually get the balancer off.
right hand threads .you gonna need a very strong impact gun like the IR231 impact gun, good luck.
you need a mechanic. if you do manage to get the crank pulley off and get the valve timing wrong on reassembly you are going to cause serious engine damage. abort now.

At what mileage interval should the timing belt 2000 mitsubishi eclipse be changed?
i just bought the car from a private party and the seller was not from the U.S so he did not speak or understand english. Buying the car from him was hard enough but it was such a good price. so i cant find out if he changed the timing belt. the car has 76,000 miles. also is there a way to check to see if the timing belt was changed?
At what mileage interval should the timing belt 2000 mitsubishi eclipse be changed?
Every 60,000 miles. At 120,000 change the water pump, the tensioner and the timing belt pulleys. Don't forget to replace the balance belt and balance belt tension pulley, that's the one that will break first and take out the main timing belt.(4 cylinder only). It's hard to tell if the belts were changed. I'd only go to a factory trained mechanic for Mitsubishi repairs, other mechanics really screw them up bad.
A dealer can look up where the car was sold and check maintenance records, give it a try and have them check for open recalls while you're there.

You also need to check where you timed it to as well as it a common to get the timing 180 degrees out.

NO! Toyota timing belts are good for at least 15 years or more. Don't waste your money. Also, the shop will screw up your timing by doing a sloppy job and break something else that will show up mysteriously later, giving them another avenue to screw you over.
On a Toyota belt, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! Toyota timing belts can break without damaging the engine. They are non-interference type. It is just best to drive the car until it breaks, then replace it.
Does a 2001 Toyota Corolla need to have the timing belt changed?
Yes!!
Recommendation for timing belt changes is 100K. Snap a timing belt blow ur friggin engine!
Yes there is a mileage that it should be changed regardless of it's condition. It should tell you when in your owners manual. This car has an interference engine in it and if the belt breaks you'll bend your valves. Get it done when it's supposed to be done or else!
yes.
Depends on the mileage.Over 150k maybe yes.Check with a good mechanic.good idea to buy a rental car help with flat screen tvs

When should i Change the timing belt on my Honda Accord?
Okay, I am in the markey to buy a 1998-2002 accord.
Of course the car will have upwards of 100,000 k on the odometer.
Should i get the timing belt and water pump changed if the owner did not?
Also, what else should i change while i do this?
Just the water pump and timing belt?
When should i Change the timing belt on my Honda Accord?
Most modern car motors today have 'overhead camshafts' that are driven by a 'cogged reinforced rubber belt'. These belts are designed to last between 80,000 and 120,000 miles on most cars. Over time the belts are stressed and the reinforcing plies and rubber weaken causing them to 'jump time' or suddenly break. Worst case, the motor is an 'interference' design in which case the piston contacts the valves and causes major damage.
Your engine is one of the 'interference' types. The cam belt, tensioners, water pump, serpentine belt and possibly the crank seal should be replaced.
Check the owners manual for scheduled maintenance and ask for service records. Any scheduled maintenance not verafiable should be a deduction in the sales price.
When should i Change the timing belt on my Honda Accord?
Okay, i like questions like this. I know the answer. :)
1) Yes.
The first thing you should do is change the TB/WP im on mobile phone. Most people dont, since it basically costs $500. But yes.
Change at same sime: O2 sensor and BELTA AND HOSES.
One more time. BELTS AND HOSES.
Flush radiator, new plugs, and you should be fine.
GOt $500? Do it. If not? Its a Honda. Works until it snaps and you are S-T-U-C-K...
PS: Timing belt takes the engine with it.
no if it works fine leave it alone the timing belt is very hard to do and if you don't know what you are doing can throw off the timing a lot and everything like your breaks and stuff wont work you should change the oils in it all of the oils and all the filters nothing elce
Well its a good preventative maintenance step. Timing belts should be repalces every 50000 to 70000 miles.... hopefully before they break.
And a complete tune up, fluid changes, service and inspection wouldn't hurt at all.
is water pump leaking coolant if not leave it alone is it running ok if so leave it alone why fix what is not broken but if your going to spend money on replacing timing belt sure get a new water pump while you got it took apart

What was your experiense with timing belt change for Subaru Impreza?
This is a major maintenance I got to do and I'd like more information on it.
How important is it to do it early, versus being 10k to 30k over recommended mileage?
Was it fixed right away or did it need adjustments afterwards?
How did the car feel with the new timing belt?
Did you select a particular brand of a timing belt?
What other repairs did you do simultaneously to cut down on cost?
That should keep you busy for a hot minute dear answerer!
What was your experiense with timing belt change for Subaru Impreza?
Depending on the climate that the car is driven in , I would say that the timing belt should be replaced no later than 90,000 miles. This is to prevent having a timing belt failure that could cause more damage... Especially on a 2.5 DOHC engine, I believe that those are considered %26quot;interference%26quot; engines and if the belt brakes during running, you will most likely bend several valves and that requires cylinder head repair...
There is a possibility that the water pump is driven by the timing belt and if so the labor would be less to replace the pump at the same time as the timing belt as compared to doing it at a different date by itself...
As far as adjustments, the timing belt has a self adjust feature and should not require adjustment..
I always use Gates belts, Just my preference based on my experience..
What was your experiense with timing belt change for Subaru Impreza?
Sincere thanks to all who gave advice,
I changed it at 84K - mechanic's comment %26quot;it was old, good time to change it.%26quot;
Cost 421 USD for belt, waterpump and labor.
Estimates I had for just the timing belt: dealer 450, AXP 300, Another Mech 550.
For Subarus, the maintenance schedule recommends replacing the timing belt at 105,000 miles.
This is not something to skimp on. Is it going to fail exactly at 105k? Not likely. Is it worth risking your engine? Your call. If the timing belt breaks, you will be looking at new cylinder heads and a engine rebuild. Your car isn't going to feel any different with a new timing belt, unless your timing happened to be off beforehand. This is just a wear item that needs to be replaced. There's no %26quot;adjustments%26quot; unless you screw up the timing. There's really no benefit to going to anything other than the OEM belt, unless you just like the peace of mind a kevlar belt might give you. You'll also want to replace the water pump, the oil pump, timing belt tensioner, and idler pulleys while you're in there.
I don't consider this the easiest task for the average shadetree mechanic, so depending on your skill level, you might want to consider going to a mechanic for this particular maintenance.
It is very important to have the timing belt changed. If it breaks while driving it could damage your engine. Take it to the dealer they will do it right. Follow that maintenance schedule in your manual that is all you need to do. Subaru will warranty the parts for 1 year. If within the one year that car is damaged due to say a faulty part that was installed during a service Subaru covers that. No other garage will do that
Timing belt replacement is recommended for cars with 60K miles (for 1997 and older cars) ...or at 90K miles for 1998 cars and newer) When a timing belt breaks, your engine stops. That is why it should be done before that risk occurs.

Estimates I had for just the timing belt: dealer 450, AXP 300, Another Mech 550.

For Subarus, the maintenance schedule recommends replacing the timing belt at 105,000 miles.
This is not something to skimp on. Is it going to fail exactly at 105k? Not likely. Is it worth risking your engine? Your call. If the timing belt breaks, you will be looking at new cylinder heads and a engine rebuild. Your car isn't going to feel any different with a new timing belt, unless your timing happened to be off beforehand. This is just a wear item that needs to be replaced. There's no %26quot;adjustments%26quot; unless you screw up the timing. There's really no benefit to going to anything other than the OEM belt, unless you just like the peace of mind a kevlar belt might give you. You'll also want to replace the water pump, the oil pump, timing belt tensioner, and idler pulleys while you're in there.
I don't consider this the easiest task for the average shadetree mechanic, so depending on your skill level, you might want to consider going to a mechanic for this particular maintenance.
It is very important to have the timing belt changed. If it breaks while driving it could damage your engine. Take it to the dealer they will do it right. Follow that maintenance schedule in your manual that is all you need to do. Subaru will warranty the parts for 1 year. If within the one year that car is damaged due to say a faulty part that was installed during a service Subaru covers that. No other garage will do that
Timing belt replacement is recommended for cars with 60K miles (for 1997 and older cars) ...or at 90K miles for 1998 cars and newer) When a timing belt breaks, your engine stops. That is why it should be done before that risk occurs.
When is the Timing Belt change due for 96 Toyota Camry 4 Cylinder Car?
I have a 96 Toyota Camry(4 cylinder) car. I bought the car when it had 77000 miles on it, Not its close to 90,000 miles. I am getting a 90,000 miles service, so not sure what I should do for the timing belt. I don't know whether its already replaced or not. Can anyone knows the exact mileage when the timing belt should be changed for a 96 Camry.
Thank you very much,
Sai.
When is the Timing Belt change due for 96 Toyota Camry 4 Cylinder Car?
Most dealers tell you to replace them at the 88,000 tune up.
I have a 1995 and waited until 100,000 miles to change mine.
You don't want to wait too long. if it break while driving the car will stop right then and there. Also will warp heads in engine and they say they can fix that but I promise it will never drive the same again.
When is the Timing Belt change due for 96 Toyota Camry 4 Cylinder Car?
You should be about due, you could chance it and just keep driving, I've heard of cars going for 150,000 mi. on the original belt. If you have a %26quot;freewheeling %26quot; engine, even if the belt breaks, it will just strand you, it wont damage the engine.
If the engine is %26quot;non freewheeling%26quot; then the valves will hit the pistons, and ruin your whole day.
But many Toyota engines have a chain, I'd check that out, if your engine has a chain you wont need to do anything.
It should be easy to find this stuff out about your particular engine, the model code will be on the valve cover on top of the engine, and go from there.
every60,000 miles,but the toyota is a safe motor,not like honda where the belt break junk motor. toyota motor just put a belt and all set
usually hondas and toyotas are every 90 to 100K miles......walso water pump should be replaced at this time....

Does anyone know a website that can give directions on how to change a timing belt?
I am looking for a website that can give me directions on how to change a timing belt on an '85 chevy nova. Thanks to anyone who can help.

There are web sites which you pay for the accurate info. But it is just as good to go buy a chilton or motor manual at your local parts store. It is better to have a complete info source for your specific vehicle.
Best bet buy a Chilton manual.

1999 or newer with a timing belt: change every 90,000 miles or 6 years, whichever occurs first
Otherwise with a timing belt (your case): inspect at 60,000 miles or 4 years, reinspect every 15,000 miles thereafter. (but for cost reasons, should probably just change at each 60,000 mile interval.)
There is no given replacement interval for a timing chain, just replace as needed.
When will you change the timing belt in a 1997 corolla with 62500 miles on it?
Generally timing belts will last at least 120K...If not longer. Especially on Toyota vehicles.I would say wait, they just wanna do it for the money. If your water pump goes out, change the timing belt then. If the water pump hasn't gone out by the time you do change your belt, change the pump out when you change your belt. Gotta take the belt off to change the pump anyway...Water pump is turned by the timing belt.
I wouldn't push it past 70K miles. The belts on the Corollas of that age were not very wide. The V-6s (yours does NOT have one!) were much wider and would go a lot farther. But as has been mentioned, Toyota rated it at 60K for a reason. The good news, however, is that on a 97 Corolla (with either engine that was available), the water pump is turned by a separate drive belt, and the valves will not collide with pistons if the belt breaks, so you are safe on both those accounts. So technically, you could drive it until it breaks (or actually, they usually strip instead of breaking), have it towed in and replaced, and back on the road you go. But there is no way to predict when (or WHERE) that will happen, and they tend to fail at the most inopportune times.
For my money, your best bet is to go ahead and have it changed.
Hope this helps! God Bless!
For a 97 it should be 60,000, But you can safely make it 90,000. Then do it every 90,000.
honestly, no.
the service interval is set at the factory to take into consideration many variables. but if you run longer than that, you're on your own
if you don't change the belt when specified, it can break, allowing the valves and the pistons to become unsyncronised; letting valves crash into pistons. expensive stuff. when this happens, it requires a major engine overhaul with pistons, valves and associated parts, gaskets, belt and possibly cams to be replaced.
dont be a dill, change it at the 60k mileage

Which way should the white arrow on the new timing belt face? Toward the engine or away from the engine?
I am changing the timing belt on a 2003 Toyota Camry with a V6. Which way should the arrow on the new timing belt face? I believe the arrow lines up somewhere on the crank shaft but I need to know if the arrow should point toward the engine or away from the engine.
Which way should the white arrow on the new timing belt face? Toward the engine or away from the engine?
Short and simple; towards the engine.

Is it manditory to change the timing belt in a '02 Subaru Outback Wagon?
my car has around 89K on it. I hear that the timing belt needs to be changed on the 2.5L Subaru before a certain milage or the engine won't work. Is this true? When is the proper time to do this?
Is it manditory to change the timing belt in a '02 Subaru Outback Wagon?
105,000 miles is the recommended interval. you should do this. if the belt breaks your car will stop running and there could be very expensive damage from the valves hitting the pistons
Is it manditory to change the timing belt in a '02 Subaru Outback Wagon?
not mandatory - you aren't forced to do anything about it. but it is highly recommended. I have an '03 and when I took mine in, I saw where is was 'fraying' (for lack of a better term) a bit, and since I didn't want to have problems that would arise should it break - yes, I had it changed.
regular service is especially important as incorrect timing may result in the pistons and valves colliding and causing extensive engine damage and therefore costly repairs.
The timing belt will eventually need to be replaced, but I don't know the exact mileage suggestion. If you don't replace it, when it dies, you will be stranded on the side of the road. If you're willing to wait for that to happen, go ahead, but I'd replace it if I could afford to.
Like the newer drive belts being used on most Harley Davison's and some import bikes, the timing belts are subject to wear and tear. On my Subaru GL, I was supposed to replace the timing belts every 20,000 miles. I didn't and wound up having to tow, pull the radiator, buy new belts and re-time the whole darned thing. If I had replaced the belts a little sooner, I wouldn't have had to re-time the engine.
Read your owners manual, but around 80,000 miles sounds right. You should check the belt with the engine off to see if there are any cracks or unusually shiny spots.
If the belt breaks, it could cause all kinds of damage, and throw off the timing so much it could leave you stranded somewhere.
Have the tension arm or wheel checked by a mechanic also. A new belt is about $80.00 or more and to have it installed is about $60.00 per hour labor.
Yes you do need to change the belt. Engines used to use timing chains but manufacturers switched to rubber belts. As you know belts fail after time. Since the timing belt drives your valves, if the belt broke you could find your pistons moving upward while your valve was left in the open position due to the broken belt. This would cause bent valves - very costly. I with 89K miles on it I think it is time for a replacement.
On ANY vehicle the timing belt should be changed arount 60,000 miles. These things don't last forever, y'know. Also, With almost 90,000 miles I'd Spring for a water pump change at the same time. It'd be the pits to ruin a new timing belt just to repair a water pump. If you aren't sure about this, ask any mechanic you know. It WILL Be a bit more expensive but worth it in the long run.
there is a recommended mileage for changing the timing belt on most vehicles and it is in the owners manual. It is a recommendation and it can be expensive. It will be less expensive to get it changed than to have it break, do some additional damage, and strand you.
It's only mandatory if you want to keep your car running. 2 of my Subarus have broken timing belts, no car will run if the belt breaks. Considering that the EJ25 (what you have) is the worst engine Subaru has ever made, I'd get them changed right away. Do the headgaskets while you're in there.
I think it is most likely due. Some cars are required at 60,000 to 80,000 miles. If it %26quot;breaks%26quot;, it could lead to more expensive repairs such as replacing bent valves depending how the tolerances are. I would find someone who is familiar with these and have it changed ASAP if it is overdue.
I usually wait to change the belt when it starts squeaking, but that may not be for everyone :p Sorry, that probably wasn't much help.
I dont think that the designers would be retarded enough to do something that will prevent you from using the car, lets say you need to rush your family member to the hospital and your car will not work because it automatically will not start because of the timing belt

How do i find out if my timing belt needs to be changed - Honda Accord 1996?
i own a repair shop and if you,ll pull the inspection cover from the top part of it,you can look at it for signs of wear,and cracks in it,also look for signs of dry rot ,this will make them break also,if your unsure about the mileage on it,id replace it,its not that big of a job to do.and it will help save a lot of headaches in the near future,that's what i always do,if I'm uncertain about it,i just change it,good luck,i hope this help,s.
Most people go with 60,000 mile changes.
Since you don't know if the first owner changed it, but the 2nd owner didn't and that was over 30,000 miles ago I would get it changed. At least you would know and wouldn't have to worry about it for another 60,000 miles or so.
just do it unless you plan to sell it next week. Why wait until it breaks? or fix it up for some other owner. Do it now. It is past time. Remember, a cheap skate always ends up paying the most.
i think honda has a 100k recommended interval, or 7 years, whichever comes 1st. either way, i doubt that its ever been rplaced. if you are gonna keep the car, repl the belt!!

Make sure the water pump is changed out, whether it's still in good working condition or not. For the labor it takes to get past the timing belt to replace a broken pump, you might as well bite the bullet and get it replaced all at once.

Make sure the water pump is changed out, whether it's still in good working condition or not. For the labor it takes to get past the timing belt to replace a broken pump, you might as well bite the bullet and get it replaced all at once.

How do i change a civic timing belt?
How do i change the timing belt on a 95 civic ex? Thanks
How do i change a civic timing belt?

How do i change a civic timing belt?
www.autozone.com . Go to repair info for your car. They have instructions and photos.
That engine is a %26quot;valve bender%26quot;. This job is not for the novice and if you mess up, you might have to get expensive valve work as well as the belt. I would suggest having it done by a reputable shop and also replacing the water pump which is driven by the T-belt. If you really want to do it yourself, good luck.
Let the expert do it, not you. You may end up spend more money by do it yourself. If you really want to do it yourself, first thing you need to know is if you can loose the crank pully bolt. Good luck.

When do you have to change the timing belt on a 2005 PT Cruiser?
I have a 2005 PT Cruiser with 67K miles. Wondering when I should change the timing belt so it does not break on the road. I usually drive by myself, so want to make sure it is safe.
When do you have to change the timing belt on a 2005 PT Cruiser?
90k miles..........also have to change water pump at same time......and would also suggest replacing metal piping and gasket that attaches to pump housing......
** also make sure u re-align the trans after u do the work....
** speaking of trans fluid and filter supposed to b changed every 45k on that car....
When do you have to change the timing belt on a 2005 PT Cruiser?
The source indicates timing belts and change intervals (90K miles in severe service, which most often means city driving) through 2004, but none beyond that. Normally that means the engine uses a chain. However, I am also finding parts listings on-line for timing belts for the 2.4L engine that are for 2001-2009. I recommend you call the dealer's service department and ask for the straight scoop for the engine in your vehicle.

How Long Does It Take To Change A Timing Belt?
A friend asked me if I could change her timing belt for her since I've done other repairs for her (brake pads, master cylinder, oil changes, etc... ) and I don't want to let her down ;) but the only problem is that it's been a while since I've done this and I'm not sure how long and how difficult the job will be. Any one know some tricks of the trade that may help? It's for a dc2 00' btw.
How Long Does It Take To Change A Timing Belt?
Danger, Will Robinson! I assume you mean it is an Integra DC2. That is an ambitious job at best. If you have access to a manly impact wrench (500 ft-lb minimum) to loosen the crank bolt the rest is fairly simple, if labor intensive. I allow a day to change a Honda/Acura timing belt because of the potential for things going pear-shaped, and to take the time pressure off. Access is not good and it is normally advised to remove the driver's side engine mount (along with moving accessories on that side) for access. Honda vehicles are like onions (or ogres) - they are in layers, and removing the outer layers is the trick to having room to work.
The crank bolt deserves some consideration, for it is a worthy opponent. My 500 ft-lb impact wrench requires the pressure regulator be put right at the inlet of the driver, and even then it struggles a bit. The damper needs one of the two types of holders to hold it during re-torquing. See the sources for more.
The water pump should be changed when the timing belt is off. The tensioner really should be changed, too.
How Long Does It Take To Change A Timing Belt?
Some GM where you can see the entire belt and get to the tension-er. 15 min with a 3/8%26quot; or 1/2%26quot; ratchet to release tension..
Some Honda's - Toyota's 2-4 hours and - - unless you have some experience it is not easy.
I have seen belts that require removing an engine mount to change. They are impossible to change without equipment to support the engine. I have seen others I could change in under 5 minutes without tools. I am not familiar with your vehicle.
I have no idea what a DC2 is.
Knowing the exact year, make, model, and engine trim of her car might help.
I've only done one timing belt, and that was on a Ford Contour with a Zetec engine. That sucked bigtime. No clearance to get the water pump pulley off, they kept changing the engine so the guides were only half-true, timing marks are impossible to line up (tiny notch must be lined up to a mark three inches back, and camshafts require a special tool), motor mount had to be removed (not as bad as the first guy said, you would just use a jack and a 2x4 to hold the engine up).
Belt shredded again later because of an undiagnosed tensioner problem... took an afternoon to fix again.
But then again, Fords are impossible to work on

When should I change my 4 runner's timing belt?
My 2001 4 runner has 89,000 miles. When should I plan on changing the timing belt?
When should I change my 4 runner's timing belt?
Toyota recommend 100,000 kilometres, most toyota engines are not %26quot;free spinning%26quot; and if the belt is left too long and fails EXTREME damage can occur. (New heads, valves etc)
When should I change my 4 runner's timing belt?
@ 100,000 or when it looks dry or cracked
I would have it checked at least. If it needs changing then do it. If not then take your chances on the road somewhere.
Most vehicles are 90,000-100,000 miles. If you have the manual it should be in there also.
if you have any doubts get it changed now its only about $15-20 bucks (if you get someone you know to install it) and its great insurance for the what -if but at 100,000 k or like said b4 if it looks worn,dry or cracked
I change my timing belts at 50.000 miles, to be on the safe side.
YESTERDAY, TOYOTA'S ARE VERY BAD VEHICLES FOR TIMING BELTS SO BETWEEN 60 AND 70 K OR EVEN 80 WHICH IS PUSHING IT YOU NEED TO HAVE IT CHANGED SPECIALLY IF YOU LIVE IN A HOT CLIMATE IF THAT BELT BRAKES YOU HAVE LOST AN ENGINE IT IS GOOD FOR NOTHING BUT A PAPERWEIGHT

Do I need to replace the timing belt tensioner when I change the timing belt?
It's a 98 Ford Ranger 4x2 with the 2.5L 4 cyl. It broke the timing belt. How do I know if I should change the timing belt idler / tensioner when I do the belt? Can I tell if it's bad? Neither my local parts guys or the Ford dealer stocks it, only the belt. Anything else I should be looking at while it's apart?
Do I need to replace the timing belt tensioner when I change the timing belt?
yes you should always change it, we always do in a dealer
Do I need to replace the timing belt tensioner when I change the timing belt?
If I where you I would at least purchase the tensioner and then compare it to your tensioner and if it seems even a little bit sloppy or worn I would replace it. If you think its ok you can just return it after the job is done. Also dont forget to replace the waterpump while your at it unless you want to tear it back down before you know it.
Get a timing belt kit which comes with the timing belt,all idler pulley and tensioner.Maybe change the cam and crank seals to prevent oil leak later on,and water pump too.
Because of the wear and tear on the timing belt tensioner I recommend changing the tensioneremail cat

How long does it take to change a timing belt on an Oldsmobile Cutlass?
I don't know how many miles or the exact year. I think it's early to mid 1990's. It's my boyfriend's car and he's thinking of changing it on its own. I just want to know how long that might take.
How long does it take to change a timing belt on an Oldsmobile Cutlass?
I own a shop, and build many engines. A good experienced mechanic will take about six - eight hours. Some engines have belts, while others have chains, it just depends on which engine you are talking about. I know I may get some flack about how long it takes, and what the book calls for, but If a person does one, then one must consider the tool thing. How is he going to remove the damper from the crankshaft? Sometimes they will break, even using the correct gear puller on them. Some have a tensioner that must be replaced in them, so this job can turn into a nightmare for a backyard mechanic sometimes. Tell your BF to go purchase a %26quot;Haynes Repair Manual%26quot; from the parts store %26quot;before%26quot; he tries to tackle the job, or he may end up with a blown engine on his hands.
Part 2:
Many people on here over look the fact; the answers thing is world wide, and they are assuming you are in the USA. Like I said it depends on the engine as to the chain, or belt thing. The chains use a different type of tensioner. It has what is known as a wear strip on the tensioner, and if this is worn it will have to be replaced. It's not worth getting in a fight with your BF over %26quot;its a belt, or its a chain%26quot;! If it's his car, then let him work on it, and don't worry about %26quot;how long%26quot; it will take to do the job because; once he gets started on it, he will see it's a job he doesn't need to do, and that will be the end of that. Sounds like he wants to be a mechanic, and what better way for him to get started? Giving your BF some space may do more for your relationship than he will for the car. I think once he see's what he is getting in to, he will forget about changing it. One can love a puppy, but hold it too hard, and squeeze it to death.
Glad to help out, Good Luck!!!
How long does it take to change a timing belt on an Oldsmobile Cutlass?
as long as the mechanic feels it takes.
How experienced is your boy friend with mechanics? It is a six hour job if you know what you are doing. First thing to do before he starts tearing into the car is to find true top center on the number one cylinder. That is the compression stroke of the cylinder. Once that is established you will be able to remove the radiator and the water pump and hoses. Remove the valve cover where the number 1 cylinder is and watch the valve spring open and close on the number 1 cylinder. Make certain that it is the intake valve not the exhaust valve. Remove the timing cover and look at the posistion of the dot on the large gear. That is the gear on the top. Double check that it is on the compression stroke of the number 1 cylinder.
Line up the two dots on the new timing chain in the middle facing each other on the gears. Rotate the engine by hand until the dot on the large gear is at the very top in alignment with the lower gear. That is actual top dead center on the number 1 cylinder. Double check your work. Rotate the engine once again and watch the intake valve open then close. The dot on the large gear should be in alignment in the middle with the dots facing each other. After that rotate the engine until the dot is at the exact top in alignment with the lower dot. Replace the timing cover and accessories. Good luck little Lady.................
well first place its chain change only if broke or worn time well everything on front of motor has to come off 3.5 to 5.5 for someone experienced and the right tools
There is no timing belt on these cars, only a timing chain. Why change it?
This isn't really a job that I would tackle in my driveway. It would take 4 or 5 hours if you are familiar with changing timing chains. On this particular engine, the oil filter adapter housing/pressure regulator is bolted to the side of the front cover in front of the R/S inner tripod joint. You must remove the R/S axle to access it.
Good Luck
as long as it takes like an afternoon
this car definitely has a timing chain but they can still stretch and the plastic rollers on them can crack and break. this is not a job for even a slightly experienced gear head. let a professional do it because if you mess it up, youre out a car. but if a shop messes it up, you get compensated.... let's be smart here
if you dont know what you are doing it could take a verry long time.. if you do know what your are doing. shouldnet take more than a couple of hours.... but you got to make sure you get the timing right.. and that is verry easy to screw up.. if the timing wheel gets turned at all.. and you put the belt back on it can be in the wrong positon and the car wont start .. the valves halve to be in the right position.. and a certin valve hals te be the one that is up .. and they go around twic there is two positions where that valve will be up if i remember correctly.. been a long time sine i worked on timing...

I have a 1992 Toyota Camry with 206,000 miles, how can you tell if the timing belt needs changing?
i hear a squealing nose in the front like a fan belt during acceleration but not sure what it can be from?
I have a 1992 Toyota Camry with 206,000 miles, how can you tell if the timing belt needs changing?
You follow the owner's manual. If it's your original one then you are lucky!
Change the water pump at the same time--it's in the same place.
The squeal isn't your timing belt.
I have a 1992 Toyota Camry with 206,000 miles, how can you tell if the timing belt needs changing?
i think u should replace it
i have a 01 camry that did the same thing
Your timing belt should be changed AT LEAST every 100K (60K for some cars) If you can't remember or don't know when it was last changed, have it done ASAP. They are a huge pain in the butt to fix if it breaks.
If the timing belt has never been changed then yes it does need it now. Timing belts usually get changed every 60-100,000 miles. Have you checked your accessory belts? One could be loose which would cause a squeeling noise. If the belts are as old as the car they should be replaced as well.
take to a dealer ,,you are suppose to rep[ace these belts every 50,000 miles. if car still runs good and starts good you should be good. ...
Timing belts are toothed belts and will never squeal. The squeal if from another belt like the alternator belt. Timing belts have no symptoms that they need replacement, they simply break. Now on toyotas, like my 94, the engine is non interference so if the belt breaks the engine simply quits and you get a tow. Better check on the 92 to make sure it is like that, if not then when the belt breaks the pistons slam against the valves and time for a new car. If you have never replaced it, you are working on borrowed time. Also if you have it done replace the water pump at the same time since it is driven by the timing belt and it is the cheapest time to replace it.
It could be any belt that is making the squealing noise. If you haven't changed the timing belt, you better do so now. They need to be changed every 80,000 miles or so. When it breaks you're stuck. Been there!
the chances are that its the fan belt thats squeeling, if its the timing belt and it goes in a toyota, plan on spending lots of money on repairs to get it working properly again, better to take it to a dealer -trusted mechanic and have it checked out/ replaced before you get into uncharted trouble. a little preventive maintainance goes a looong way, and they never fail at the best possible moment in your life.
You can only tell about the timing belt when it quits and ruins the engine, so if it has over 100K on the odometer it needs to be changed. Not doing it will leave you stranded somewhere.
The squeeling you are hearing is the alternator/AC belt.
check the condition of the t-belt. count the cracks in it. if you lose count while counting then it is time to replace it. or when in bought rip it out and change it.
this is one of those questions you would classify as routine maintenance.if you've never changed it,i certainly would have it done.with 206,000 miles,i would say you wouldn't have to ask the dealer about the next time it should be done.thank you.squealing noise,the first thing that comes to my mind is--worn out belt.replace the belt.thank you!

the chances are that its the fan belt thats squeeling, if its the timing belt and it goes in a toyota, plan on spending lots of money on repairs to get it working properly again, better to take it to a dealer -trusted mechanic and have it checked out/ replaced before you get into uncharted trouble. a little preventive maintainance goes a looong way, and they never fail at the best possible moment in your life.
You can only tell about the timing belt when it quits and ruins the engine, so if it has over 100K on the odometer it needs to be changed. Not doing it will leave you stranded somewhere.
The squeeling you are hearing is the alternator/AC belt.
check the condition of the t-belt. count the cracks in it. if you lose count while counting then it is time to replace it. or when in bought rip it out and change it.
this is one of those questions you would classify as routine maintenance.if you've never changed it,i certainly would have it done.with 206,000 miles,i would say you wouldn't have to ask the dealer about the next time it should be done.thank you.squealing noise,the first thing that comes to my mind is--worn out belt.replace the belt.thank you!
When do you change the timing belt on a 2000 Lexus RX300 ?
2000 RX300 purchased new, always serviced by dealer, now over 8 years old, with only 40,000 miles. Should timing belt and hoses be changed on basis of age rather than milage ?
When do you change the timing belt on a 2000 Lexus RX300 ?
The belt should be changed at the normal intervals in your service manual. As far as the hoses, they shouldn't need changing, but it also depends on what weather conditions the car has been through.
When do you change the timing belt on a 2000 Lexus RX300 ?
I wouldn't. The quality of the hoses and belts on those cars is tip-top. I'd wait until the recommended service interval for the timing belt and only replace the hoses as needed. The new rubber compounds are capable of lasting for a very long time.
Safe for over a hundred thousand miles.
60-90k .you can go up to 90 so you still have alot of time left
5 years or 90K miles. which ever comes first.
when the car does not start.... replacing it before that can open up another can of worms..
iv got an 1s200, 2000 and had to do it at 150,000 km with the service,
not sure if that helps :)
Because the timing belt is encased in a housing, it's not subjected to your water, oil, air and such as the accessory belts let's say.
The dealer will want to replace at 60K, it's rated for 100K, some have gone over 150K (not recommended) on them. I'd say change at 100K would be sufficient.

How do you change a timing belt on a 1995 ford probe?
There is nothing else wrong with the car, just need a timing belt. If you could tell me how i can change it by myself without going to a mechanic that would be great :)
How do you change a timing belt on a 1995 ford probe?
You need to get the passenger side front tire off, take off the plastic wheel liner in the wheel well, take off all of your pulleys and accesories for example; ac compressor, power steering pump, alternator, take off the front main seal, the belt is accessible there.
Make it a lot easier on your self and go to autozone and get a Haynes Repair Manual for your car, they're only 10 or 15 bucks and will tell you step by step what to do.
How do you change a timing belt on a 1995 ford probe?
wow meg, thats not one of your typical do it ya self jobs, but to change it you need certain tools and and maybe a in-fared scanner 2 be exact but if u do it wrong ya car will backfire or never start but take it 2 a shade tree machanic or a pro that knows what he's doing
This is the intervals at which the belt should be replaced I am assuming it is a 2.0 litre; On 1993鈥?7 Probe, replace at 60,000 mile intervals. On 1999鈥?004 models, inspect every 120,000 miles %26amp; replace as required..
1.Disconnect battery ground cable, then isolate cable end with electrical tape.
2.Remove cylinder head valve cover.
3.Remove power steering pump belt shield, then loosen adjusting bolt.
4.Loosen lock bolt and power steering pump through bolt, then remove power steering belt.
5Loosen alternator adjusting bolt and alternator upper mounting bolt, then remove alternator belt.
6.Support engine using three bar engine support No. 014-00750 or equivalent.
7.Using suitable jack, raise engine slightly and remove right hand engine mount.
8.Remove timing belt upper cover.
9.Raise and support vehicle, then remove splash shields.
10..Using crankshaft pulley holder T92C-6316-AH or equivalent, remove crankshaft pulley attaching bolt.
11.Remove crankshaft pulley, sprocket and guide plate.
12.Remove timing belt lower cover bolts, then the cover.
13.temporarily install crankshaft pulley attaching bolt.
14.Turn crankshaft until timing mark on crankshaft sprocket lines up with timing mark on oil pump and camshaft sprocket timing marks (E and I) line up as shown.
15.Lower vehicle and insert camshaft pulley holding tool T92C-6256-AH or equivalent.
16.Use an allen wrench to turn timing belt tensioner and remove timing belt tensioner spring from hook pin.
17.Remove timing belt. NOTE : If reusing old timing belt, mark direction of belt for installation reference.
18.Reverse procedure to install, ensuring all timing marks are aligned.
This is a pretty involved operation depending on your skill level, but i am a firm believer that a woman can do anything a man can do!!! :) I tried to paste in the alignment marks but couldn't (keep in mind that this is a interference engine- This means if you don't get the timing properly aligned and you crank the engine over there is a possibility that you can bend your valves (damage the engine internally)

Why won't my 97 Neon SOHC start after I changed the timing belt and have all the marks lined up?
I changed the water pump and timing belt. I have all marks lined up, still sounds like my timing is off.
Why won't my 97 Neon SOHC start after I changed the timing belt and have all the marks lined up?
make sure that pot 1 is on compression stroke and not exhaust stroke as you could be sparking at wrong plug
Why won't my 97 Neon SOHC start after I changed the timing belt and have all the marks lined up?
Go back to square one in the repair manual. The timing belt is not lined up properly.

How dangerous is it to drive a honda accord with 140,000 miles with the origonal timing belt?
The 2000 honda accord still runs great, but I havn't gotten around to change the timing belt. I am waiting till I have enough cash to buy the water pump and the belt. But I am WAY over due for the timing belt change. Do you think I shouldn't drive the car?
How dangerous is it to drive a honda accord with 140,000 miles with the origonal timing belt?
Get that belt done! Toyota and Honda are the biggest timing belt offenders, but here's the difference. You blow the timing belt on your Toyota, you get towed to the shop and pay for a timing belt replacement. You blow the timing belt on your Honda, you ruin your pistons and valves, so now you're either replacing much of the engine or getting a junkyard engine. The Honda's have what is called an interference engine, which means the pistons crash upward into the heads, damaging internal engine components, the Toyota has a non-interference engine, so the piston stops short of damaging everything. If you completely baby the car while driving, try to keep it running when possible to avoid starting it, and get the freaking timing belt done ASAP, you should be OK, but since its inside the engine, there's no way to know. You might be hanging on by a thread right now or the belt may appear fine. Just get it done, get it done, get it done!!!
How dangerous is it to drive a honda accord with 140,000 miles with the origonal timing belt?
It's not dangerous as in the engine is going to explode and kill everybody in the car, but the old timing belt could snap and the engine could stop running at any time. If that happens, the repair bill could for more than just a belt and water pump. If you don't need to drive the car, I'd recommend you wait until you could get the proper maintenance done on it.
Please be careful. I would highly encourage you to get the timing belt replaced ASAP. We own a 1992 Accord with 223K miles. It already had the timing belt changed out once before. We just recently replaced the timing belt yet again, as well as the water pump, belt, etc. Our car is running well right now. If the belt in your Honda breaks, it will cause major damage to the engine. Please do not drive it until you can get it repaired. If you must drive it, drive it gently until you can get it fixed. Good luck, and God bless!
you should be fine until you have enough cash, its actually smarter to do the water pump with timing belt... so yeah its a 2000, not like its a 1994. just drive in the city so that if the timing belt does snap, stop the car!!! so that the engine parts inside dont get f**ked up.
