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.

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.

How much it cost a to change a timing belt for 1999 acura tl ?
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.

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
