Timing belt
Should i get it change at 100000 kms or anytime soon?
car is 99 , engine just done 50000 kms and if i have to change it now, what is the reason for not changing at 100000kms instead.. |

I dont think you have to worry for the time being. 100K kms is the general guide

I guess take a look at the belt, see if its a bit worn and frayed.

I think you have to consider the age of the belt too, not just how many kms they've done. You can have a set of belt sitting around for 4 years in sunlight thats done 0kms and I wouldn't be using them.
Remember, rubber goes off with age and start to crack etc... Darren

i would have to agree with technik_wrx, do the timing belt every 4 years or 100,000km, cheap insurance for your engine.

yeah, make sure your rubber is up to scratch or else it could be a very costly mistake
(you can read that in so many ways and the outcome is pretty much the same!) |

I'm in the similar situation. The car has only done 40000km, but she's 5yr old. I will change the timing belt, but just wondering if I need replace idlers, tensioner and cam/crank seals, maybe even water pump?
Thanks in advance.
