[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP is correct in that if your timing belt goes when driving, that can pretty much be the end of your engine. The only warning sign you might get is a squeaking sound from a loosening belt. It’s a pricy repair because a lot of pieces need to come out in order to do the remove/replace. And because of that, it’s common and appropriate to do other, equally inconvenient but necessary maintenance while you have everything apart — water pump is the usual pairing. If you’re a gambler and comfortable with mechanical things, you can check the belt each time you’re ready to get behind the wheel. But that’s not a guarantee, and it is an inconvenient way to live. If you want to keep the car, just plan to get it replaced in the next 3 months so you can breathe easy. [/quote] You are confusing the timing belt and serpentine belt. You can’t check the timing belt each time you get in the car, it is not visible. [/quote]
