Timing belt Unknown?
« on: 31 March 2007, 17:07 »
Hi, i have no idea when my timing belt was done last, it doesnt say it in the service history and there is no sticker on the timing belt case in the engine bay? is there any way of knowing when it was done last?

Not really, if you've no documentation stating when it was done last then I would get it done a.s.a.p. Better safe than sorry in my book  :wink:

have a look at the belt... does it look in good condition? has it still got the paint on the outside of the belt? by looking at the outside of the belt you can normally tell how many miles its done. check for cracking also.
