Does my timing belt need replaced?
Author: TkQ: Should I replace my timing belt in my car? It is a standard drive… I have owned this car for 10 years, it has 190,000 miles on it and I have never replaced anything on it except for an exhaust pipe.
A: A big yes, you should replace your timing belt. You should replace the timing belt somewhere between 60,000 and 100,000 miles, manual transmission or automatic. The owner’s manual normally has the timing belt change intervals mentioned. Severe engine damage could occur if belt breaks, so changing the belt in time is crucial.
