Hello
i got this car at 108,000 miles with no records. Because I have no records I do not know if I have to change the timing belt. How do I know if I need to change it?

thank you

HI there,

if there is no record of a belt being replaced do it now as it is well over due, if this belt fails there will be serious engine damage done.

Hi there,

It will take around 3 31/2 hrs plus the belt, as I live in Australia you will have to check local labour rates and ring a dealer for a belt price.
