After I replaced the timing belt and put everything back I cranked the engine and it started to misfire. I then took everything a part and found a tooth off on rear camshaft. I reset the timing marks and put everything back together but the engine is still misfiring. Any suggestion what could be going on with it? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!!
How to find out what causes engine to misfire? I changed the timing belt on my 02 Honda Odyssey EX now misfir?
I would double check those timing marks again.

Timing on this car has to be right on the money. However a bad wire, plug, coil pack can all cause a miss fire.
It sounds like your a tooth off on your timing belt and not the distributor.

How do you know if the timing belt on a 2000 Mitsubishi Galant has been changed?
I am looking to buy this car, which is a 2000 Galant. The car has had two owners and the second owner (the person I am trying to buy the car from) does not know if the timing belt was changed before he bought it. The car has 106,xxx miles on it. The engine size is 3.2 liters and its a V6 engine. Hope you can help.
How do you know if the timing belt on a 2000 Mitsubishi Galant has been changed?
Really, it's not possible to know unless you do it yourself (or pay for a mechanic to have it done).
Highly recommend you get it done if you purchase the car. The Galant (with a DOHC) all had an interference fit engine so if the belt breaks, you'll be looking at valve damage and major engine repairs.

Small help changing my timing belt on my 95 eclipse
You might need to lower the engine a little. You might be in a bind having too high. Then after bolts come out raise back up. Play with the engine height. You might need to go higher too.

Sorry dude, I hope you get it! I had one of those that I had in the shop, and $600 later, I had a new timing belt. Stupid foreigners. haha
You said you got the engine as high as you could. Well now it's to high. I wish you could take a picture and send it or post it that would help alot. Lower the engine not to low not to high then the bolts will be free to move. But I can't tell with out looking at a picture. I hope you measure how much the tensoner piston has extended when your done installing it.
They dont come off they are a part of that engine mount. Ask me how i kno... cause my bolts atualy broke off!!! and i have to replace the whole engine mount bracket. :((cs files Duvet cover designers research

Does anyone know how to change the timing belt on a 1994 Honda Civic Si?
I have a 1994 Honda Civic Si and I need to change the timing belt but I don't know how, does anyone have any advice or know a website that I could look it up on w/o having to buy a book?
Does anyone know how to change the timing belt on a 1994 Honda Civic Si?
It's real easy if you have the tools, first you'll need a crank pulley wrench if not use a chain wrench to hold the pulley while you remove the bolt. Once you got the bolt off loosen the belt tensioner then slide the belt off, now reverse and done, you can go to hondahookup.com and reg to be a member and download there manuals.

Big job. You really need the book. Maybe the library has one. Every car is different and the timing is very important. If you do it wrong it won't run. Get the book, it will show you how to fix a lot of other things also.

Do 2001 a4 audis need their timing belt changed after 100k miles?
I'm thinking about buying 2001 audi a4 with 92k miles
for $5900, this will be my first car
is it true that almost every audi a4s need to get their timing belt changed at 100k miles?
Do 2001 a4 audis need their timing belt changed after 100k miles?
All timing belt equipped cars need the timing belt replaced between 60,000 and 100,000. Call an Audi dealership and ask them the specific mileage for that one. Any shop can do the work.

Should I really change the timing belt at 35K miles?
I drive a 2002 Hyundai Elantra, with 35,000 miles on it. The dealer in Sunnyvale recently recommended that I get my timing belt and AC belt replaced. I took the car to a local guy, Habelt's on Irving Street in San Francisco, and that guy told me not to replace it just yet. He said 60,000 miles is the standard, regardless of chronological age.
Should I go ahead and get it done (for $600 or so) or should I wait until the mileage gets closer to 60K?
Should I really change the timing belt at 35K miles?
What is the manufacturers recommendation (check your owners manual)? Lots of less than reputable dealers and Jiffy lube type shops try to con drivers into having this done early because of the profit they make. I think you will find you do not need to do this for quite a while.
Should I really change the timing belt at 35K miles?
I think the dealor is trying to upsell you on service. I took my CRV to Serramonte Honda - they recommended a rear differential fluid flush at 60k. I turned it down and read the manual, which says it should be done at 90k.
They will cheat us if they can.
$600.00 seems like about 3x too much for the timing belt change. You should hunt around...and check your manual for the actual mileage recommended by the manufacturer. Many cars are 90k for the timing belt.
it says 35000 miles but its a second hand and you don't know if the belt is new or an old one or where it came from. 60000 miles is the range to change but it would be wiser if you change it and start a fresh count. because if the belt breaks $600 sounds very cheap to the damage it will do.
Wait until it gets to 60k and it should cost no more than 400 to 450 dollars. I just bought a used one the same as yours for my son and I have done much research on this. Problem with mine is I don't know whether to trust the guy who sold it to me and said that it had been changed at 60k. I might just have to eat it and fork out the 400 and be safe rather than sorry!
THE CHOICE IS UP TO YOU REALLY, IF YOU ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNER WAIT TILL 60,000 MILES.
IF THE CAR IS SECOND HAND THEN YES BUT.....
TRY FINDING AN INDEPENDENT SHOP INSTEAD OF THE DEALER OR A CHAIN STORE BECAUSE YOU WILL BE OVERALL MORE PLEASED WITH THE FINDINGS AND THE SERVICE.

How do you know its time to change a timing belt on a suzuki forenza 2006?
how do you know its time to change a timing belt on a 2006 Suzuki forenza with 34 miles on it???? What are the signs that its time for a new timing belt
How do you know its time to change a timing belt on a suzuki forenza 2006?
There are no warning signs. Just follow this advice from Suzuki:
The Suzuki Forenza Maintenance Schedule suggests inspecting it at 30,000 mile intervals and replacing it at 60,000 mile intervals.
This car has an interference engine. That means that if the timing belt breaks the engine will suffer severe internal damage and will likely have to be replaced. Replacing the timing belt is rather expensive, but doing so may save you an engine.....
You are not only supposed to check it at 30,000, but it may need to be adjusted. The belt can get loose after it has stretched and it needs to be tightened back up.
How do you know its time to change a timing belt on a suzuki forenza 2006?
It needs to be looked at 30,000 miles and replace at 60,000 miles. Your other belt that runs the fan,AC,and other things should be replace at the same time as they have to take it off to replace the timing belt and could save your some labor costs. Cracked,chiped,or some loose treads are a good sign but not always. A good mechic can tell you if its is time and you are looking at a few hundred bucks to have it done. If you have only 34 miles on your car for a 06 then you got a good deal then.
There are no signs. It just goes in a second. I'm pretty sure you have an 'interference' type engine. Most people do. That means when the timing belt fails, the engine will have major damage and may need replacement.
Every car owner lives with this so don't get too excited. Look in your car manual and be sure the timing belt is replaced exactly at the mileage stated. Not sooner and not later. Also have the water pump and belts replaced at the same time. That's done because they need replacement around the same time as the timing belt and it's cheaper to get the extras done while they have things apart.
Check your owners manual. Sometimes a busted timing belt can damage valves. My 03 neon is 84 months or around 100,000 miles. 30,000 is not right for any car. That's way too soon. My mechanic looked up info on my car.
Timing belts are to be replaced every 30,000 miles to keep the valve train working right.
it will tell you in your service guide and handbook, if not, research on google or wikpedia, engines vary and range from 30,000 to 78,000.get rid of blackheads on nose odp.net charakterset

When to change the Timing belt on a Audi TT?
Have a 2002 TT with 50K, should I get the timing belt done now or wait till 75k? I have read some horror stories about the belt breaking causing over $6000 in repairs.
When to change the Timing belt on a Audi TT?
I had an 01TT Quattro Roadster and my shop has done timing belt jobs on them as well. YES, change the timing belt. But I don't think the main problem is timing belt failing. #1 is the water pump and #2 is the tensioner. You usually have some warning with tensioner failure. You'll hear what sounds like a knocking noise, which is the tensioner flopping around because the hydraulic fluid has leaked out. The water pumps are well known to fail prematurely. Audi used plastic impellers in the water pumps. It is very common for those impellers to crack or dissentigrate. When they fall apart, the pieces end up lodged in unknown places. Don't have an OEM water pump with the plastic impeller installed when you have the timing belt done. If the shop doesn't know where to get a water pump with a metal impeller, order it yourself from ECS Tuning. As a matter of fact, order the entire timing belt kit, as it also includes the tensioner. The metal impeller water pumps from ECS are made by the same company that makes the OEM water pump. So, they are exactly the same except for the impeller. Do not get the water pump from the dealer because they still use plastic impellers. My personal TT had about 65K miles when I did the timing belt. The impeller was missing pieces and crumbled when I pressed on it with my thumb. The other TT's we've done timing belt jobs on have all had either cracked impellers or missing pieces. With the new water pump, you'll be good for 75K.
When to change the Timing belt on a Audi TT?
depends, is it belt or chain? If it is actually the normal kind then it is 60k miles, chain lasts up to 100k.
Audi huh? That sucks, it will cost you an arm and a leg.
I have a 2003 Audi A4, the warranty is amazing if it is under or around 50k take it into the shop and get it serviced FREE under warranty, and ask them about the belt. I would also assume that if you don't race your TT every night the timing belt should be fine, depneding on your service rep they might give you a little crap if it's over 51k but just tell them when the last service was and what you are planning %26quot;with your next Audi (just to make them fell better)%26quot; and you should be fine.
You should change it at these intervals. You should get it checked now to see if it is in good shape. If it is in good shape, then wait until 60,000 miles to change it.
60,000 miles
120,000 miles
180,000 miles
240,000 miles
Personally, I would go with 50k intervals. Since the eng. is an interference fit, the price of a belt pales to the cost of engine work, (valves, guides etc.). Not to mention the cost of peace of mind. Good thinking man.
would do it before 70K maybe around 65K. mocowma has some good advise i would buy the kit and have an Audi or German car specialist install it (cheaper than the dealer).
There is no one who can predict when or if your belt will go. You're right. On that car the damage caused by a broken timing belt will be costly. Here's an idea. Change the belt and stop worrying about it for another 50K. The peace of mind is priceless.

What does it men when there is a rattling noise from the timing belt ?
i had my timing belt changed a year ago when i bought the car (2000 hyundai accent) and now when you turn it on there is a rattling sound like when you put a playing card in the spokes of a bike and when the car is warmed up you dont hear it anymore. dont know what it is...took it to a mechanic and he said he thought it was rubbing up against the plastic by the belt....now my car has started to idle rough.....help please?
What does it men when there is a rattling noise from the timing belt ?
If your timing belt fails, your engine stops, OR can very likey be damaged. This isn't something to ignore. Your mechanic needs to look at where the noise is coming from. No they don't %26quot;just make that kind of noise%26quot;
What does it men when there is a rattling noise from the timing belt ?
sounds like your water pump or one of the idler pulleys is going out,this will change the timing back and forth making it run weird one minute then fine the next......they can make some pretty funny noises too when something is failing in that area
Probably inadequate tension on the timing belt. There's typically a %26quot;belt tensioner%26quot; on the timing belt much like the one on a serpentine belt that runs your A/C and alternator/water pump/ect.
I'd check the timing belt cover (plastic housing) first to make sure it isn't rubbing the timing belt making all of this noise.
Good Luck!!
have the water pump checked
if the garages you have been too have both said they think its the timing belt or timing belt cover then they could well be right.
the timing belt commonly also runs the water pump, it may be that the bearing is failing or that the timing belt tensioner or idle pullies are failing.
if your car has not had the cam belt replaced get it done! its far cheaper to have to replaced now (and water pump at same time) than if one of the components fails. if a tensioner, idler or water pump fail they usually take the cam belt with them resulting in bent valves and a pretty big bill.

if the rattling eventually turns into a shaky engine after a couple of days, you are in need of a new harmonic balancer. This happens to be a very neccessary part of your engine that prevents it from shattering itself to pieces. 300 dollars is all it took to get a new one for my 93 century installed.

How do u change the timing belt on a 1995 eclipse?
I dont want to pay a mechanic and i need to chage the timing belt for my 1995 Mitsubishi eclipse GS-T. It has a Turbo engine also.
How do u change the timing belt on a 1995 eclipse?
This is one of these jobs that requires knowledge and skill if you have never done this job or seen it done then i wouldn't recommend doing it, but a good place to start is the local library or maybe search on the Internet.
How do u change the timing belt on a 1995 eclipse?
Either buy a book, or go to the library and see if they have a book.
If you've never done this kind of job before, it can be tricky finding the cam and crank alignment marks and where they are supposed to be pointing to.
If the water pump is driven off this belt, it can also be a good idea to change it, especially if the car is at the 120,000 mile mark.

When should I change the timing belt on a 2000 CR-V LX?
This car has been great almost 200K never had any major problems other than tune ups with the mechanic, but I have not changed the timing belt car runs ok should I worry until it makes weird sounds? Thank you!
When should I change the timing belt on a 2000 CR-V LX?
It wont make a weird sound, it will just snap and its over. You got your moneys worth out of it get it replaced. It'll save you a tow bill and a head job cause when it snaps you'll bend your valves

When to change a timing belt on a Vauxhall Vectra Diesel 2007 1.9 CDTI?
Hi, Im a little confused on when to get the Timing belt changed on my Vectra. I have seen many people say anything from 36000 miles up to 100000. I would be really appreciative if someone could tell me for sure. Thank you...

50,000 also change the water pump as they have been known to shred the timing belt and wreck the engine
When to change a timing belt on a Vauxhall Vectra Diesel 2007 1.9 CDTI?
I've just clocked up 63, 000 on mine and the dealership rang me to say it was due a service (stll not sure about that) So I asked the question of when the timing belt was due for replacement, and the rang me back to say 100, 000 miles.. Somewhat doubtful, i'm going to get mine done at 65, 000 and have the water pump replaced too.private dermatologist eyes lips appealing

Parts needed for a timing belt change on a 2001 Lexus RX 300?
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.
Parts needed for a timing belt change on a 2001 Lexus RX 300?
I would not touch the front seals unless they were leaking.Actually I don't even recommend replacing water pump %26amp; tensioner on that engine with that mileage.This engine has plenty of clearance (unlike most Hondas %26amp; Mitsubishis) and does not cause major engine damage if timing belt (or waterpump or tensioner) break.

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.

Should I change the timing belt/chain on my Toyota Camry?
I have a 2004 Toyota Camry and I just hit 100,000 miles. When should I change the timing belt/chain? My car is still running fine; just like the day I bought it.
Should I change the timing belt/chain on my Toyota Camry?
your maintenance schedule should tell you when to change belt but chains have no maintenance and should not be serviced until making noise, that usually doesnt happen until 200,000 miles, belts are a different story and need regular service, anywhere from 60,000 to 100,000 miles depending on motor, you need to know which type of engine you have.
Should I change the timing belt/chain on my Toyota Camry?
change it...it usually doesnt get bad slowly ...it snapps and leaves you on side of road..[usually at night in rain in bad %26quot;hood%26quot;]
the owners manual probably recommended changing it around 80k.
You need to change it even if your car is running fine. I had one brake(my car ran fine up until it did) and it caused my pistons to hit and bend my valves. It cost about $1400 to fix and that was because a friend did the work for me. It is recommended you change them to keep that from happening to you.
Your 2004 Camry has a maintenance-free timing chain if you have the 4 cylinder. You shouldn't have to change it. If it's the V6, you have a timing belt and it has to be replaced at 100K I believe. Newer timing belts tend to have longer intervals than the ones of the past. Also, if you have a V6 and the belt does break, it is a non-interference engine. That means that there's enough clearance that if the valves stop moving (ie. timing belt breaking), the pistons one crash into them and cause damage while you're driving. You just get your car towed to the shop, get a timing belt replacement service and you drive away.
2003-2006 Model camries have 2 types. The 2.4i engine has a timing chain - which should never need replacing. The 3.3L V6 has a timing belt, and should be replaced every 100,000 miles - so if you have a 3.3L V6 camry you should get it worked on sometime soon.
The good news is you do not have an interfearing engine - so even if it does brake (yes you'll be stranded) but at least your car will be repairable - unlike most hondas which DIE if their timing belts break.school nurse needing advice advice and suggestions

Which one is a timing belt. we can see around 3 to 4 belts engine to alternator,?
which one is a timing belt. we can see around 3 to 4 belts. engine to alternator, another connecting to waterpump via various pulley. i want to understand that for changing timing bealt weather you need to change all the belts which passes through various pullies or only one belt which has teeth like structure from inside. if timing belt is worn, does it means only the teeth like belt is worn. what about the other belts. is it not necessary to change them??
Which one is a timing belt. we can see around 3 to 4 belts engine to alternator,?
it would be easier to help you if you stated what car, and you only have to change the timing belt not all of them, its the one you stated that has the 'teeth structure on the inside' it should go to 2 pulley's at the top of the block that are on your camshaft and one pulley at the bottom of the block that is on your crankshaft, unless you have a timing light and know what your doing, i suggest you leave it to a mechanic as you can destroy the engine if its not on correctly, but if you don't have that option and don't mine risking it, take the belt off but what ever you do, don't let the pulleys turn a single notch or it will mess up the timing of the internal functions and could cause that much damage it ends up being cheaper to replace the motor...
Which one is a timing belt. we can see around 3 to 4 belts engine to alternator,?
The timing belt is a actual belt or it might be a chain simular to a bike chain but heavier and stronger. It is closest to the engine block and usually is completely covered so that if a accessory belt were to break it would not interfer with the timing belt. If the timing belt breaks it can cause major damage to the valve train, making it necessary for a whole new head assembly or rebuild.
When the timing belt is replaced is a great time to install all new belts since you have to remove all of them to replace the timing belt anyway.
It's the belt attached to the crankshaft pulley(the big one on bottom of engine).
The timing belt is usually covered to protect from the elements, It's a good idea to change it according to manufactures routine maintenance charts that should be in your owners manual, if available. An untrained person can do this but I would advise against it if you've never done it or atleast seen it done. If the belt happens to break while going down the road you will have to have the whole top end of motor rebuilt.
Bottom line is spending a little money now will save you lots of money later. As far as the other belts, anyone can change them. Check them for cracking, fraying, if they squill then they may be stretched and worn. To replace, don't forget how the old ones were on, or you might have a diagram showing the belts routing under the hood somewhere.
good luck.
The belts you are looking at are the accessory drive belts, they are completely different than the timing belt. The timing belt can't be seen on the outside of the engine by just peaking under the hood. It is located on the front of the engine on a V6 or V8, and on a Inline 4 cylinder its still on the %26quot;front%26quot; of the engine but typically on the drivers side of the engine compartment due to the fact that the engine is sideways in the car.
If you don't have much experience with cars i don't suggest changing one on your own due to the fact that if you mess something up you could end up paying extra for someone to clean up your mess, or messing up the cam timing and crushing a valve or worse.
Pay someone to change it, depending on the vehicle, a broking timing belt while driving can DESTROY you upper half of the engine....
it would really help to know what kind of motor you are looking at, but as you have described it, It has got to be older, with multiple belts. most stock motors that I have ever seen have have timing belt covered, and would be on the same end of the engine block as the other belts that you are looking at. The timing belt is crucial to the motor operation, and I really don't mean to be rude but unless you have a second car to drive while you learn to find top dead center, my advice on this would be as follows: if you have to ask where it is, then you're better off taking it somewhere to have this belt replaced. Also the timing belt will usually outlive the other belts tenfold, If the car runs reliably then just change the belts that you can see, and enjoy the ride
the belts that are visible are V or fanbelts, the cambelt will not be visible, however more info is required, ie:;make, model %26amp; year.
those are your accessory belts. the timing belt should be behind a cover.if the teeth are worn and the belt has heat cracks then yes it should be replaced before it leaves you sitting.
the timing belt is normally covered. it is usually located near the other belts and pulleys

Can someone tell me what the Honda factory recommends for timing belt service on 97 Prelude?
I don't have a manual as i bought the car used and i keep reading different things. I want to know what the Honda manufacturer suggests as the timing belt change interval. is it 90k miles or 105k miles?
Can someone tell me what the Honda factory recommends for timing belt service on 97 Prelude?
If you have 90,000 miles on your engine I'd look into replacement ASAP. The saying %26quot;Pay a little now or Pay ALOT later%26quot; definitely applies when it comes to Honda Engines. Because if the belt happens to break a little before it's recommended replacement time, your going to bend valves and cost yourself at least $1000 more for the repairs. My shop recommends changing it every 7 years or 90.000 miles depending on the driving and elements the car is exposed to. I'd change the water pump and cam,crank seals while your at it. Also check the condition of the tensioner and idler pulley as well as the drive belts since the labor will be about the same to do so. Good luck and hope this helps.
Can someone tell me what the Honda factory recommends for timing belt service on 97 Prelude?
Get it done before 100k miles and do your water pump at the same time.
Agreed the sooner the better.
i do mine every 95k miles.
The belt may still be serviceable,but for peace of mind change everything under the belt cover.The belt kit is only $105 and includes tensioner(s)The water pump is $38.You can go to Honda for these parts and pay quadruple,or use the site below where I found your parts.A Honda motor is almost forever,the rubber parts aren't.You'll find the labor cost steep and few will use your parts provided (no mark up or profit) A certified Honda dealer charges $700 for a package job,outside jobbers are similar.

When should I change the timing belt in my 04 dodge sx 2.0?
My car just hit 100k, and I'm wondering when I should be changing the timing belt. Should I be getting the water pump changed as well?
When should I change the timing belt in my 04 dodge sx 2.0?
100K sounds like its about time to change your timing belt. It's best to buy an owner's manual for any car you own, it also tells you what other maintenance needs to be done and when you need to do it. With most vehicles, the timing belt is behind the water pump and needs to be replaced as well, typically you would have the water pump and timing belt changed at the same time.
When should I change the timing belt in my 04 dodge sx 2.0?
yes to both 80,000 is a good time, radiator reverse flushed as well,medium hair styles lock file

How do I change the timing belt on my 1990 Honda Civic?
Any experts? I'm good with cars but, I have never changed a timing belt?
Can you explain in detail how to do it?
thanks
How do I change the timing belt on my 1990 Honda Civic?
1) get some 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 17mm, 19mm, sockets and wrenches. and a 1/16%26quot; allen wrench, small bench vice.
2) disconnect battery + and tape a rag on it.
2.1) remove power steering pump and set aside. this can usually be done without disconnecting lines.
2.2) remove alternator.
3) turn engine with socket on crank (17mm or 19mm) until timing marks are t.d.c.
4) remove timing cover (10mm socket) needed for this should be 8 or 10 small bolts.
5) dont forget the 2 at the oil pan connection below (12mm socket)remove crank pulleys (17mm socket)
6) once covers are off locate tensioner and insert 1/16%26quot; allen wrench in hole on side of tensioner this will save lots of grief later. and then remove. (12mm socket)
7) on the valve sprockets there will be a dimple that you line up with a notch on top of cyl head usually at 12:00 position.
8) remove timing belt.
9) reverse order to re assemble.
10) oh darn the allen wrench wont fit because belt is too streched or broken! (no worries, compress in small vise and put allen wrench in make sure that you put it in the correct side or you'll have a problem when you go to remove it after the new belt is on)
11) just for future reference get yourself a Clymers auto manual. about $20 but worth it.
12) also i'd replace your water pump while you have it apart because that is a pain to get to.
Can you explain in detail how to do it?
thanks

5) dont forget the 2 at the oil pan connection below (12mm socket)remove crank pulleys (17mm socket)
6) once covers are off locate tensioner and insert 1/16%26quot; allen wrench in hole on side of tensioner this will save lots of grief later. and then remove. (12mm socket)
7) on the valve sprockets there will be a dimple that you line up with a notch on top of cyl head usually at 12:00 position.
8) remove timing belt.
9) reverse order to re assemble.
10) oh darn the allen wrench wont fit because belt is too streched or broken! (no worries, compress in small vise and put allen wrench in make sure that you put it in the correct side or you'll have a problem when you go to remove it after the new belt is on)
11) just for future reference get yourself a Clymers auto manual. about $20 but worth it.
12) also i'd replace your water pump while you have it apart because that is a pain to get to.
What signs will tell you that the timing belt needs changing?
will the engine make a noise
What signs will tell you that the timing belt needs changing?
Nothing! You have to pull the cover back and look at it. There is no sensor that tells you it's bad. Never run a timing belt over 100,000 miles. Honda recommends changing theres every 60,000 miles. Not sure about Toyota but I'm sure it's about the same.
What signs will tell you that the timing belt needs changing?
usually you wont notice until it snaps. try to replace it as a precaution by about 125,000 to 150,000 miles or sooner if you have a lead foot.
nothing
You just change them at regular intervals
where is the noise coming from?
If your Toyota is after 1996, there is a sensor that alerts you if the timing is bad, but this is too late in my opinion. Go by the mileage, a belt should do 100,000 or even more.
When you do the belt, also change the water pump and the oil pump gasket.
Unfortunately there's no way to tell if your timing belt needs changing without removing the upper plastic cover to inspect it visually. If your in doubt as to if it needs to be changed I'd strongly recommend changing it ASAP, if not for piece of mind, then for the saving of hundreds of dollars by doing so. Since you didn't give what year, make, and engine size it's hard to say what will happen if it were to break.The majority of engines are interference motors which tend to bend valves when the t-belt breaks. The saying %26quot;Pay a little now or PAY allot later%26quot; definitely applies when it comes to Timing Belts. Good luck and hope this helps.

Is it really necessary to change the timing belt of a car's engine?
My van, a Mitsubishi 2.5L Diesel engine, has just went over the 80,000 kms mark in the odometer reading. My mechanic says that the timing belt should be changed. He says that by not doing so, the other mechanical whatnots in the engine may be affected. Why so?
Is it really necessary to change the timing belt of a car's engine?
The maintenance schedule listed in the car manual should recommend how often a timing belt should be changed. 80,000 Km sounds ok, sooner if the car was driven in a lot of stop and go traffic, or if you're a leadfoot.
If the belt breaks in some engines, you can have lots of major engine damage, such as pistons smashing into valves. At any rate, even if the engine is designed to prevent this, the car will be suddenly disabled.
The mechanic should also check the belt tensioner, and look for leaks from the water pump.
BTW, isn't that a 2.3L diesel?
Is it really necessary to change the timing belt of a car's engine?
Your timing belt is crutial in keeping the car running smoothly
If your timing belt blows then your car wont run at all. This belt keeps the car in tune and makes sure that the car keeps all of its cylinders in firing order. And yes it should be replaced around the 100, 000 km mark
the timing belt is what connecting your crankshaft to your cam shaft.if the belt snapped,your camshaft wont turn,your valves will not go ups and downs,your air and fuel intake will mess up,and you'll get sorts of unwanted damage.change your belt every 80k-100k km
yeah,u should change it bcoz timing belt is so important to run a car.....without the timing belt the camshaft wont roll.....so better u change it
From what your mechanic says, you have an %26quot; interference%26quot; engine. When the belt breaks the cam shaft stops or gyrates around and hits the pushrods bending and breaking them. You need to get the belt changed as a measure of preventive maintenance.
just like everybody said....TIMING BELT is cheaper than whole engine re-built...
or next time get a CHAIN-driven..(timing chain) type of engine..
It is recommended to change the timing belt .. 80.000 km sounds little early..it can go another 80.000 without snapping .or it can snap anytime soon . that's the chance you take ..
I know i have. i am driving 3 cars at the moment
and they are all over 125.000 miles not kilometers ..well one has timing chain .the other 2
definitely needs to be done ..but i am still gambling they wont snap .. because if it dose snap .then it is a new engine for sure ..
Listen to the mechanic and change it. If it snaps you'll be paying for an engine rebuild. Better to be safe than sorry
new timing belt or new engine-----what would you rather pay for
Your engine has what is called an interference design. This simply means that the pistons and valves occupy the same space at different times. If the timing belt breaks or slips, they try to occupy the same place at the same time, with the result that your engine is instantly trashed. Change the belts.

When you change the timing belt do you also have to change the water pump?
I have a 2002 honda civic with 85k miles %26amp; the dealer says the timing belt should be replaced. But with the water pump %26amp; timing belt tensioner also have to be replaced???
When you change the timing belt do you also have to change the water pump?
The timing belt drives the water pump in your car. To replace the water pump, you have to remove the timing belt. When you are having the timing belt replaced, it makes sense to also replace the water pump. There is very little additional labor to do so, as the timing belt is already removed.
You do not have to do so, but if you do not, and the water pump subsequently fails, you will be paying the full labor charge to replace it rather than just the cost of the part.
As to the belt tensioner, I would replace that because it is a wear item, and if it fails it can cause a timing belt failure. If you are going to risk the timing belt failing (and causing major damage to the engine) you might as well not have the belt replaced.
I would never replace a timing belt without also replacing the water pump and tensioner. It is false economy to do so.
When you change the timing belt do you also have to change the water pump?
mine just broke 2 weeks ago...and yes the water pump SHOULD be replaced also. well worth the money to have them do it all at once or youll be sorry when you have to go back
Effectively no...the timing belt is by itself and does not drive the water pump. The belt tensioner may or may not need replacing, depending on how much it is worn...
Much easier to do when you do the timing belt, better to do preventative maintenance while the timing belt is taken off.
The engine in your car makes the difference the 1.7 has a water pump driven by the timing belt and the 2.0 has an external water pump driven by the serpentine belt so find out what you have but if it is the 1.7 just do it.
I agree with the dealer.It may sound like he is trying to jack up the job but in fact it will save you money and grief in the long run.
Getting to those parts is so labor intensive that if you have to go back in later to change the pump or tensioner pulleys it will cost you the same as it did to have the belt changed. The other thing if the pump starts leaking on a new belt you will have to have it replaced again.
Whenever I do a timing belt I change everything that is in there. Then I don't have to worry about it.
Just did this myself. You should replace the belt and water pump at the same time. The water pump is not a durable device, the pump seal will eventually start to leak. Getting your timing belt wet is a sure way to lead to a catastrophic engine failure.
I replaced the belt tensioner as well. It's good insurance and since you're already in the engine, the added cost is small and the potential for failure moderate.
This is not a job for an average DIY'r, I have a full shop and many years of experience and still had a hard time doing the job. I suggest you get it done by a pro.

How do i know when to change the timing belt?
i have an Acura 3.2 TL, when i bought it, it has 90 000 km on it. Now it has 217 000 km. I never did the timing belt before. Do i have to do it? or did the previous owner already changed it already?
How do i know when to change the timing belt?
On most overhead cam engines if the belt breaks it will do major damage to the engine because the valves will hit the pistons. Check the owners manuel for the recomended times to change. When in doubt change it anyway, it will be a lot cheaper than a new engine.
If you are mechanically inclined get a repair manuel and change it yourself. Check the timing belt idler for wear, if it goes out it will ruin the belt. On most engines there are other parts that you may want to replace at the same time because of the labor involved in getting to them. (other belts, water pumps, hoses., ect)
How do i know when to change the timing belt?
Either done or not done... You are do..
Any time from 90,000 and on is Roulette..( changed or not changed)
I'd do it....
some engines have a timng belt cover or covers that you can remove and visually inspect the belt. some covers are a pain to remove tho
i would say your over do. better change it now or you will be looking at some big bucks later.cat parameter

How much should I expect to pay for a new timing belt for a 1997 Honda Civic DX Hatchback?
I was told to also change the water pump while having the timing belt changed. I have 110 K miles on the car. I guess it's about time.
How much should I expect to pay for a new timing belt for a 1997 Honda Civic DX Hatchback?
This depends where you go to,
i have a 99 Civic Dx (same engine as yours, currently with 167k miles, had the belt changed at about 130ish k miles)
The belt it self is cheap its about $50, but since its somewhat labor intensive to get to and change the belt, some people will rip you off.
I live in southern california, specifically the san fernando valley,
I went to Kolbe Honda on Reseda blvd in Northridge,CA ( i pretended to know nothing about honda's to see if the guy would give me a fair price or not) He said %26quot; its going to cost more money because yours in Dual Cam%26quot; and this was a factory certified tech supposedly , (i was laughing in my head because i know for sure its a single cam [d16y7]) anyways he quoted me more than $850 for labor alone, not including the water pump. (in my opinion a total rip-off, and idiot).
Next to get another estimate i went to a Honda/Acura Specialist shop they quoted $450 including the water pump but not the belt.
I still wanted to see if i could get it cheaper so i still shopped around and called another dealership further away (about 100 miles away).
I went to Robertson Palmdale Honda, The guy KNEW what he was talking about and gave me a estimate of $300 over the phone, when i went to the service department after tax it was $325 (me supplying the belt.)
all in all it cost me $375 for the labor including all necessary parts including the water pump.
point is shop around or else you could get stuck paying more for the same service, BTW all 3 were factory certified honda technicians.
How much should I expect to pay for a new timing belt for a 1997 Honda Civic DX Hatchback?
If you go to the dealer, prepare to pay big money. You can go to a good Honda specialist and have it done for around $300. This should include a new timing belt and ALL OTHER BELTS, a new water pump, water pump gasket, thermostat and thermostat gasket. The reason the other items should be included is that they are normal wear items that are easily replaced when a timing belt service is being done.
around 350 for all

Do you have to remove the engine to change a timing belt on a 2000 toyota tacoma?
I was told that Tocoma timing belts had to be changed around 90k before they broke, damaging the engine. Is this even true? And how much trouble is it to do it yourself given mechanic experience?
Do you have to remove the engine to change a timing belt on a 2000 toyota tacoma?
DO NOT DO IT YOURSELF. Seriously, I think your Tocoma should have the 3.4 liter V6, which I have in my 2002 4Runner. Its a big production to do it. I had it done at the dealer. Good plan, right? Guess what - After driving about 150 miles, it fell off! They didn't tighten the crank shaft properly (those were the words of the mechanic I took it too near where it died, as well as the dealer, after they checked it out). Well, too bad for the dealer, they had to come pick it up (140 miles door to door each way for them) and then they did have to yank the engine out to fix the mess.
Its an expensive service at the dealer (about $500, if I remember correctly), but you can probably get your local mechanic to do it for less.
Do you have to remove the engine to change a timing belt on a 2000 toyota tacoma?
I have changed the timing belt on a 91 Toyota Camry, we didn't have to remove the engine but it was a big mess. You can order or buy the book at parts stores such as O'Reiley's or AutoZone, the book will tell you.
If you have the maintenence book, it's step by step. I had never changed one before, but I did it with the book, and a little help from family members. I think it is true about damaging the engine. IF you can't afford the labor for the fix (which IS expensive), buy the book for $15 and do it yourself :)

Does a 2006 Toyota Corolla need to have the timing belt changed at 30K?
I just bought a new car (2006 Toyota Corolla) and I was wondering if I need to have the timing belt changed at 30K?
Does a 2006 Toyota Corolla need to have the timing belt changed at 30K?
NO.....
THERE IS NO TIMING BELT ON AN 06 COROLLA IT IS A TIMING CHAIN AND THAT WILL PROBABLY NEVER GET REPLACED
Does a 2006 Toyota Corolla need to have the timing belt changed at 30K?
Timing belts usually go until 60,000 miles along with the serpentine belt.
RTFM
usaly at 60000 but check the book my honda dosent say to change it till 80000
i was told you can get any where fro 50 to 60 thousands miles from a timing belt
Timing belts generally don't need changing til about 60,000 miles or so. Double check that it is a belt though, as more company's have been going back to chains in recent years. The chain is a little noisier, but it lasts longer, and the chance of slipping is greatly reduced.
The best advice I can give you is to check the maintenance schedule in your owners' manual. I have seen recommendations from 60,000 miles up to 105,000 miles! My own personal vehicle would have it done @ 60,000 miles, regardless. Personal work experience.
the answer is no. timing belt should be replace by dealer where you bought your car. you got a 40,000 mile warranty in drive train, so don't worry to much
^^^ What he said. Every Toyota 4 cylinder motor uses chains now.
no just look in the owners manual for the maintenance schedule and follow it if the car didnt have it when you bought it you can order one from toyota or many garages have maintenance schedules somewhereshould she tell someone dry hair

How much should it cost to replace my timing belt for honda accord 94?
I don't know much about cars, but my brother says my car needs to get the timing belt changed to get rid of the loud noise. He believes it's too tight/loose and that's where the noise is coming from... I need to get an idea of how much a mechanic would charge me. Thanks!
How much should it cost to replace my timing belt for honda accord 94?
If you haven't replaced your timing belt in the last 90,000 miles, it needs to be replace along with your timing belt driven water pump if that's never been replaced. Also your belt tensioner and idler pulleys need replacing. Total cost at a Honda dealer: About $750. You have an %26quot;interference%26quot; type engine which is damaged (bent valves $$) if the belt breaks.
How much should it cost to replace my timing belt for honda accord 94?
It should cost around $250 give or take $50. That is what I had to pay here in Los Angeles.
You should'nt get any loud noises from a cambelt as such,but could from the alternater belt.

If you haven't replaced your timing belt in the last 90,000 miles, it needs to be replace along with your timing belt driven water pump if that's never been replaced. Also your belt tensioner and idler pulleys need replacing. Total cost at a Honda dealer: About $750. You have an %26quot;interference%26quot; type engine which is damaged (bent valves $$) if the belt breaks.
How much should it cost to replace my timing belt for honda accord 94?
It should cost around $250 give or take $50. That is what I had to pay here in Los Angeles.
You should'nt get any loud noises from a cambelt as such,but could from the alternater belt.

Why is it important to change the timing belt on time?
What happens when the belt breaks? I heard so many times to change a timing belt on time, but if it actually breaks? Whats the worst it can happen? Is it true it can cost thousands to repair? just wondering
Why is it important to change the timing belt on time?
pistons could hit valves in some /most motors, then its expensive
Why is it important to change the timing belt on time?
breaking is a luck game. if you get lucky all your valves are up and nothing happens.Other than the next few days of your life sucks and your out tow money. If you're not lucky it smashes into them and kills atleast the top end maybe even pistons.
If you have a timing chain it wouldn't matter to much. Doing it might save gas and give more power.
If you have a belt and just coming around to the recommend time doesn't matter much. Do it within the next year when you have time and money.
If you 50k miles over the recommended time does matter if you care about the car do it asap.
Depends somewhat on the car but best case scenario is it breaks and leaves you stranded on side of road, couple hundred dollars later and your back on the road.
Worst case scenario is when the engine bends the valves and/or otherwise seriously damages the internal parts of the engine. Now your out $1000's of dollars and without a car for a week or more.
On Toyotas when the cam belt breaks the engine stops running and those things you need like power steering and power brakes get very hard. On other cars when the cam belt breaks the engine suffers damaged valves and stops running and you're also left with no power steering or power brakes. Thousands in repair costs are reality in cars with %26quot;interferance engines%26quot; the ones whose valves can be damaged. The non-interferance engines may not be damaged, but you can imagine how unsafe your situation becomes without power. Changing a cam belt can be about a $200 expense- maybe more if you have other preventive repairs done at the same time.
The cam belt moves the cam, which drives the valves. The pistons can keep moving when the valves stop moving and can run into them- bang bang, bang---- then silence. Do not try to start the engine when that happens because you can do more damage.
If your positive you don't have an %26quot;interference%26quot; type engine and the engine's free wheeling when the timing belt breaks, then I'd just keep driving it until the belt broke. Check the Gates timing belt reference below to see if you have an interference engine.
http://www.gates.com/brochure.cfm?brochu鈥?/a>
Depending on what type of engine you have if the timing belt breaks the pistons can hit the valves, thus bending the valves and valve guides, cracking the head and even cracking or breaking the pistons and bending the rods, ( depending on how fast your are going ) but since neither you nor I can see into the future and predict when and where that belt will break. It is better to change it when scheduled and not take any chances that could cost a lot of money. But make sure to ask for the old part back and tell them you want the timing belt tentioner replace also. And If your cars water pump is driven by the timing belt get it changed too
Good Luck
The timing belt is what keeps the vales in time with the pistons. Have you ever seen a old clock with a pendulum and it swings back and forth. well this is what keeps everything moving in the correct order. Same as the timing belt, it keeps every thing working as it should. If the pendulum stops, the clock stops. If the belt breaks the engine stops, right there and will not restart, your stuck. You could be a hundred miles from where you want to be so that is what makes it so important. Oh and if your motor is an interference type motor, you will have some bent valves to replace along with that timing belt. This significantly drives up the cost of the repair.
It will ruin the engine.

What are the effects of improperly installed timing belt on your driving, to the engine and its temperature?
i had my timing belt changed then after, i had a hard time accelerating. i stepped on the accelerator but the car is having a hard time to move. then the temperature gauge went up. and overheated. radiator hose exploded. then i found out that the timing belt was improperly installed. is overheating one the multiple effects of improper installation of timing belt?
What are the effects of improperly installed timing belt on your driving, to the engine and its temperature?
You obviously know the answer to you're question, and yes, overheating is one of the effects of the timing belt being improperly installed.
What are the effects of improperly installed timing belt on your driving, to the engine and its temperature?
depends on the engine
effects of a bad timing can include all of these effects, and even physical damage to the engine. this damage might not show up immediately.
if a shop did this get evidence and make them fix it. this may involve the courts unfortunately.
if you or a friend did this, fix it and learn from the mistake! and check the compression.
Yea... all you need to know is that it will destroy your engine, over a period of time.
THE TIMING OF THE ENGINE MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH OVERHEATING I DONT QUITE UNDERSTAND HOW YOU IMPROPERLY INSTALL A TIMIMG BELT.
Yes. With the belt improperly installed the spark is not igniting the air/fuel mixture at the correct position on the piston stroke. Symptoms besides overheating can be loss of power, hard starting, poor fuel economy, and run on(engine continues to run on very poorly when key is turned off).

Does a Hyundai Elantra 2000 timing belt really need to be changed at 60,000 miles?
I have a Hyundai Elantra 2000 with 59K miles on it. It is running fine but the owners manual says that I should change the timing belt. Hyundai wants $650 for the timing belt so I went to a local Goodyear. They say that It will cost like $500 but when you throw in the suggested change of the water pump and new hoses and a coolent system flush it comes to over $1000 bucks. I trust this goodyear dealer they have done work for me before but my question is is it really worth it for a car worth about $3K? How long can I realistcly expect the timing belt, hoses and water pump to last?
Does a Hyundai Elantra 2000 timing belt really need to be changed at 60,000 miles?
it is recomended but long as you don't drive it hard you may get up to 90 thousand miles with it be easy with it good luck
Does a Hyundai Elantra 2000 timing belt really need to be changed at 60,000 miles?
do not go to dealer it will cost about $
180 on street..but do change b4 problems occurr
It SHOULD be changed if the manufacturer specifies. However,
if you go another 5 thousand miles, it wont break, so shop around. MY favorite mechanic quoted me a price of $275.
My dealer wanted $700. for the same work. I think you are being overcharged.
Water pumps can go bad at 30K or 100K, (any time) so it's best to change it out when work is ALREADY being done in the area.
YOU COULD WAIT TILL IT GOES OUT BUT I WOULDNOT CHANCE. IT IF YOU DO WAIT THE REPAIR BILL WILL BE IN THE 3-4 THOUSAND DOLLAR RANGE. THE REASON THEY RECOMMEND THAT IT BE CHANGED AT THAT TIME IS WHEN THE TIMING BELT BREAKS IT WILL CAUSE THE VALVES TO SLAM INTO THE TOPS OF THE PISTONS AND BEND ALL THE INTAKE AND EXAUST VALVES AND POSSIBLY CRACK THE PISTONS SO YOU CAN PAY THEM NOW OR REALLY PAY THEM LATER.
You should do what the owners manual says. If the belt breaks, all of you valves in the engine will bend and you'll need a new engine. That will be a lot more expensive. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
In my computer it says to replace the belt at 60K also. These are Korean Cars. Their quality isn't as good as the Japanese cars. That is why you need to replace them sooner than most. This is not a interference engine so if it does break it will not harm your engine like some cars.
A realistic price that I charge for my shop is 180 in labor 50 for the belt. It would cost you 230 bucks if I did it minimum. To do all belts, waterpump it will be 210 in labor, and 65 for the pump and 80 for belts. Your total would be 355 plus coolant and taxes.
If you come to Topeka Kansas I'll come to you to replace it for a 35 dollar service call.

When will be the best time to change my vehicles timing belt?
I bought my 02 Subaru Forester last spring. It has 112000 miles on it, but I want it to be always in good shape (everybody does). If anybody can give me a tip or info if when will be the best time to change my %26quot;Timing Belts%26quot;? I tried to ask the Subaru dealership regarding this matter but they were not honest, they're so particular about the price instead, %26amp; I hate that!
When will be the best time to change my vehicles timing belt?
It is time to change it if it has not been done in the past. It should be done between 80,000 and 100,000 miles. Do not go to the dealer to have the belt changed, they will rob you. Find a quality local mechanic to do the job.
When will be the best time to change my vehicles timing belt?
they need to actually be changed about every 60 thousand miles on that one,you can go a little over that but then you run the risk of one breaking and causing major damage to an engine,it doesn't have to be a dealer though to change that one most repair shops can do the same job at half the price,and they too will guarantee their work,good luck.
In general it's recommended that you change a timing belt every 60K miles or 5yrs whichever comes first. If I were you I'd change it and be done with it, because the last thing you'd want is for the belt to snap and ruin your engine.
i believe you're supposed to change them every 100,000 miles, you can check by taking the belt off and bend it, if there are cracks between the teeth, you need a new one
Typically it should be changed at 50,000 miles. So your timing belt should have been changed twice by now and you'd be 12,000 into your third belt.
I know Kia autos require this done prior to 60,000 miles. Others require 70 and 80,000. Your car at 112,000 is due. I'm guessing about $400 for the job. Is that close?

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...

Timing belt, does it need to be changed again?
My car has 93K on the clock, it got the timing belt changed in 2005 with around 50k+ on the clock. Its a Vauxhall Astra 1.6 8V, 2000 W Reg
When if ever will this need changing again?
I have only had the car a week, and its in really good condition its been very well looked after.
Timing belt, does it need to be changed again?
have it changed at or before 110k or next year
Timing belt, does it need to be changed again?
Personally I would have the belt replaced avery 60K miles or 5 years, whichever comes sooner. The cost of belt replacement is much less than a new engine and in my experience 80K miles is too long.
You might also like to also have the timing belt tensioners replaced as they are low costs and tend to wear.
under manufacturer advise, it's advisable to have a timming belt replace within 80k-100k KM or every 5 years in time. Do run a vision and %26quot;feel%26quot; check by technician to rectified. In order to safe cost of repair, do run a check and replace water pump, tensioner bearing, camshaft seal, crankshaft seal and etc. Avoid doing double job.
It's simple. Ask your car dealer whether you have an interference engine or not. If you have a free wheeling engine, then you can drive until the belt breaks. But many small belt driven engines are interference engines. In the USA, the website below lists vehicles and whether they have interference engines or not.

I would get the belt renewed very soon! I have had good cars rendered worthless by the breaking of that damned little bit of rubber belt!!
you should get the belt replaced about every 80k miles or during the mfg. recommended period.
It really should be changed now.
When if ever will this need changing again?
I have only had the car a week, and its in really good condition its been very well looked after.
Timing belt, does it need to be changed again?
have it changed at or before 110k or next year
Timing belt, does it need to be changed again?
Personally I would have the belt replaced avery 60K miles or 5 years, whichever comes sooner. The cost of belt replacement is much less than a new engine and in my experience 80K miles is too long.

When should I change the timing belt on a 1998 Crown Victoria?
The car runs excellently. I have no problems with the car at all. I just use it every day for about 50 miles, and on weekends for about 250 miles. I just want to treat her right. When should I change the belt to avoid a sudden breakdown?
When should I change the timing belt on a 1998 Crown Victoria?
no belt and timing chains can last the life of a vehicle i've never changed one in any car i have owned
When should I change the timing belt on a 1998 Crown Victoria?
Duh! The Ford Crown Victoria has a chain driven cam. There is no timing belt!
The timing chain will begin to get a little sloppy between 80000 and 100000 miles and I would recommend changing the timing chain around 100000 miles.
My rule of thumb is 100K, although some people suggest changing it sooner.
I don't think the '98 Crown Vic has an 'interference' engine (meaning that if the timing belt snapped, it wouldn't be in danger of bending/breaking valves, or punching holes in pistons), so it isn't nearly as important as on some newer cars.
It's not that hard to do yourself if you are fairly mechanically inclined. I usually suggest changing the water pump while you are in there.

Is there any problem if i just change the timing belt and don't change the water bumper?
One of my friend told me i can just change the timing belt and don't need to change the water pump at the same time. Is there any problem?
Is there any problem if i just change the timing belt and don't change the water bumper?
Well, the water pump might last a day and it might last 10 years. The ? is do you really want to tear the engine back down in a later time to change the pump ?
Is there any problem if i just change the timing belt and don't change the water bumper?
You dont have to change the water pump but since it's torn down that far, you'd be foolish not to. That would be like rebuilding an engine and putting used oil back in it.
Normally, when you change the timing belt, you would change the timing belt tensioner and the water pump at the same time. The cost of labor to change only the timing belt should be about 150% of belt labor when changing all three devices.

How hard is it to change a timing belt on a 2000 Camry CE?
I want to change the timing belt and was wondering how hard is it and the tools I need? Besides sockets and wrenches...I have a set. I was wondering if any special tools....and I've seen manuals, it says to line up the the gears to TOP DEAD CENTER....which the block has a measure for....and to line up the other gear to a certain degree....If i did all this and installed the belt...it would be ok.?

Does anyone know how much it cost to have a timing belt changed on a 2009 chevy aveo?
It is a new car only have 300 miles on it,but I see the timing belt must be changed at 60,000 miles or it can damage the engine. I will not even waite that long,I will have it done at around 50,000 just to make sure.
I was just wondering the cost of this for the future
Does anyone know how much it cost to have a timing belt changed on a 2009 chevy aveo?
a timing belt usually runs about $500 it includes belt water pump and seals (crank seal, cam seal ) just to be on the safe side you should change these things wihle it is tore down now for trouble free operation later and always use a certified shop or a GM dealer.
Does anyone know how much it cost to have a timing belt changed on a 2009 chevy aveo?
Check your local chevy dealership and don't waste your MONEY by doing it 10,000 miles early. The change time giving by the manufacture was a conservative number so that people who go over a little bit still will for the most part be ok. But do it around 60,000 miles give or take a few miles.
dont worry about it/at your rate we will all be dead and buried at your 60k/besides the whole world goes up in 2012/dec 21 so your belt will be safe

How do you change a timing belt on a 2001 dodge stratus?
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.

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.unique female names how to remove a trojan

How much is it to change timing belt for honda cr-v?
Depends on where you live. Different places charge differing amounts.
Rule of thumb is to call at least three places, and at least two of them be actuall Honda dealers, and get extimates. The more estimates the better.
Now, take all your estimates and find one or two that are in the middle of the price range. Never go with the cheapest estimate, as you get what you pay for. Never go with the highest estimate because you rarely get ALL that you pay for. That will get you a reasonable cost estimate done by someone who is capable about 80% of the time.

Approx 拢180 - 拢200. 拢30 for the belt, the rest is labour. I have just had mine done.

Is it really imperative to change the timing belt at 60,000 miles?
Now, I had this done on one of my vehicles and it cost me about 700 bucks. I really can't believe that everyone driving around changes their timing belts at 60k. Of course, I realize that if it breaks, trouble will follow. Still, it seems to me that this recommendation is playing on people's fears.
Is it really imperative to change the timing belt at 60,000 miles?
First thing,you need to look in your owners manual and see what the manufacturer recommends. Most hondas are good for 100K miles. Go with what the recommendation is%26gt;
Is it really imperative to change the timing belt at 60,000 miles?
It depends on the vehicle and how hard you drive it.If it is an interference type motor,then yes it is imperative.Doing the job yourself is a lot cheaper.An interference motor is when the valves will come in contact with the piston if timing is out of phase.When the pistons hit the valves you will bend the valves, pushrods or hole a piston.
It is as you have said. You only have to change it, if it breaks. I agree that a lot of people don't change them at 60K and they wind up trading the car before it does break. Changing it is more like an insurance policy, trying to fix something before it breaks and leaves you stuck on the road.
You can push it, but if you ever get to 100K, I think it would be time to take that insurance policy and get it changed.
I have had them break on me, and the car was under 40K miles, but that was due to a water pump that was driven off of the belt. So you never know.
good luck.
You didn't say what type of car you have, but if you have an interference type engine and the belt fails at highway speeds , the $700 will seem like a drop in a bucket.
my car just hit the 70,000 mile mark
and you got me thinking about my car too.
i should look at your owners manual
and check it out also.
i always just turned the page and never payed much
mind to the owners manual.
i guess with this busy life as an American we really never care enough until we dish out the big bucks when all we really needed to do is pay more mind to the overall car and not just changing the oil every 3,000 mile and buying new tire ect
and rims for some of us.
good luck.
After reading the answers already on here I'm wondering what an interference engine is. I've never changed a timing belt until it broke and I've always changed them myself but I guess you better make sure yours isn't the type that is going to do damage. It is a lot of work but $700 seems a bit much. I would shop around unless you would void the warranty in which case you have no choice but to replace it at 60,000 miles.
Buy american. They have chain instead of rubber.
timing belts require to be changed either at 60000 or 90000 depending on the car. you would be so screwed if the timing belt were to break because they would cause so much damage to the car.
so it's best to change the timing belt at the recommended interval. plus it's much cheaper to spend a few hundred dollars to have the timing belt changed instead of several thousand dollars worth of damage to the engine, or even having to get a new car because of the timing belt had caused to the engine.
well its the best preventative maintenance its like driving the car until the vehicle cant brake anymore since you drove past the loud screeching sound which is the sign you should have them checked out just like that the belt should be change at about 60k .... yes some cars can go longer without it breaking but on some cars if it breaks you usually need a motor.... so whats less expensive new motor or preventative maintenance?
Dont scrimp on this. Change it . My ex didnt and it threw the motor. Book it in
why take the chance of ur car messing up in the 1st place? sht 700 dollars though thas too much for a timing belt change, its not a easy thing to change but then it should be around 300- 400 700 too much!
Nope, not necessary.

You should ALWAYS disconnect the battery.Call the Honda dealer,give them the VIN # and they should be able to give you the code.They may want proof of ownership.
the dealer should give the code to you easily.
when working on any car (you always have to disconnect the battery)because when working on a car anything can go wrong so disconnecting the battery will ensure you that nothing will hurt you or go wrong.
fuel filter means careful work so is the timing belt or chain.
hope everything works out fine!

Is it possible to change timing belt and fuel filter of Honda CRV 2000 without disconneting battery?
Yes, but it's always better to disconnect the battery when it's not needed for testing or servicing the vehicle.

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?

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...

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 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 milesstrange characters during boot up home spa day

How much to change Timing Belt on 2001 Toyota Solara?
Have to get it changed soon. What am I looking at paying?
How much to change Timing Belt on 2001 Toyota Solara?
I Just got my 99 Solara done.I don't know where these other people got their prices for a dealer to do the work..but when you get your timing belt, you also need to get your water pump changed. This is always done because if the water pump goes bad, they must tear the engine apart again to do it, and if the timing belt needs to be done, it is highly likely that the water pump needs to be done too. Both these things can be done at the same time because the engine is open. I paid $1200 at the Toyota dealer to have it done properly. Good luck.
How much to change Timing Belt on 2001 Toyota Solara?
250-500 bucks depends on where you live and where you go to get it done.
It's $149.95 at our dealership.

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
