when it breaks...don't start

A timing belt is just one of those things that you don't ever bother worrying about until it breaks. Your serpentine belt on the other hand should be replaced at the first sign you start to see cracks in it. Because your vehicle will continue to run with a broken serpentine belt and eventually burn up your engine. When a timing belt breaks your engine will die automatically. I really wouldn't worry about it. I just wish they would use timing chains in all vehicles the way they used to back in the day because they seem to last a hell of alot longer than belts. But you know what they say you can wish in one hand and sh*t in the other and see which one fills up faster. LOL. Hope this advice helped you out.

Usually around the 100,000Km mark. However some model cars need to have it changed sooner. Don't delay changing it, because the cost of a new motor is much more than the cost of changing a belt.
