I got my first timing belt done in 2010 when the car reached 150 K, as shown in the book.
So she did the 150K in 9 years.( 2001 MY car ) ( also did the water pump and cam oil seals )
NOW, 7 years later we have only done another 60K and are averaging around 8K /year, so it will take another
11 years to reach the 300K at this rate.
Another car I have with a timing belt has belt replacement on AGE or mileage and is fixed at 5 years without fail,
however that is an interference engine of 4 cylinders.
So the question is - when should I replace the timing belt?
I'm thinking 8 years will be plenty long enough regardless of distance.
