Hope this is the right section. Seems like a generic question. The car in question is a cabriolet mk 3.5 year 2000 engine 1984cc
Took the cover off to check on the timing belt - just got the car.
There is a strip up the middle about 1/5th the width which looks like new with the yellow printing all clear and nice. Either side the belt is worn down slightly. The tooth side looks perfect, no fraying or anything. Is this a panic immediately situation or a fairly standard occurrence?
Car has 77,000 on the clock so this could be the original belt doing well or a recent replacement.
