I am hearing a little noise in my car like a clicking sound from a belt. I think it might be my timing belt.
..please advise how would I know if my timing belt needs changing.
...thanks for your help.|||The timing belt has a set service interval - depending on the car, year, engine it can vary. Typically a timing belt will not make noise. A tensioner or pulley can make noise, a accessory drive belt can make noise. Find out what the interval for your belt replacement is and compare if it has been done within those guidlines.|||your car jerks when your foot is on the gas and your fuel runs out faster.|||You can certainly tell on certain car engines when they blow up. Saturns for one will cause very expensive internal damage if they break a timing belt. The average life I believe is about 50 k. Costs about $500 with water pump and seals added.
Two to three times that much if you wait for it to go bad.|||I used to have a 92 escort, I had no hints that it was in need of changing, until it snapped on me going down the road. Good luck|||When a timing belt is strecthed,it will flap and cause some noise.Actually you will not know when it is going to snap.So change it every 50000km
