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.
Mits's are Valve Kissers
Change every 60.000 mile per maint book.

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
