How can you tell if the timing belt in your car engine needs replaced?
Answers:
There are no symptoms of when your timing belt needs to be replaced. Typically 5 years or 60,000 miles which ever comes first is the manufacturer's recommendation for timing belt replacement.
If your timing belt breaks, you'll be stranded, so way to even get the car moving again.
If your car has an interference fit engine and the timing belt breaks, its more than likely you'll need a new engine, so it's always safer and cheaper to replace the timing belt before it breaks than to replace the engine after it breaks.
there isnt really anyway of telling, check your repair manual and change according to that
You'll hear a clanking noise and the motor will stop. Make sure you check your "Check engine Light" every week.
other than removing it and visually inspecting it for wear and cracking, there is no way to tell. Your owners manual should have a mainenance section in it that tells you when this should be done. This is a critical component so get it done if it is due to be done or you will be on the side of the road somewhere.
It's typically something that will last about 100-150,000 miles. I don't know of any symptoms that would make me think to do it, but if you do, be prepared. It's a pretty serious bit of work in a lot of cars and could be costly with labor.
