Re: Check Timing Belt
If you can do the work yourself (if you're the least bit mechanically inclined) and have a normal set of tools I'd say change it, it's cheap insurance. It is an interference engine so a broken belt will cost a lot more bucks than the <$150 for a belt change. Not only that, it's hard to tell if the belts worn out, other than a missing tooth or some such obvious damage.
I just did my kids on her Pontiac Wave and it's not hard. Not only that but you can change the idler, tensioner and antifreeze while you're at it, waterpump too if you're so inclined ....Mike
