Timing Belt Change

[Jonathantphan@yahoo.com]

I did mine at 118,000 miles and I changed everything in that area such pulleys hydraulic tensioner, water pump, spark plugs, thermo stat seals and so on for $1000 at an independent shop. Car runs like new. I like to have a piece of mind. I hate to take chances.

Just to add my experiences.   I did my timing belt change at 90k miles, with coolant flush and water pump change.  My mechanic told me that the water pump is heavily corroded.  So I finally know why I need to add coolant the last 20k miles.  Then 10k miles later, I replaced the radiator due to a stone chip cracked it.  Leaked a few drops at first, then a major puddle two day later.  Good thing my mechanic is literally two minutes away from my home.
