What's the best real-world interval for timing belt replacement? I'm just here to announce that I bought a 99 Mirage LS with 101,000 miles on its original belt! I changed it, of course, but the Mitsu dealer technician guy who checked it out says "yeah, little 1.8L engines can go 100K on their originals easily." True? For the record, the manual says that for California/Massachusetts/Connecticut, 60,000 miles is "recommended but not required" while every other state gets 100,000. What the hell?

The day-to-day driving circumstances can also make a difference in when this essential engine part should be changed, as more strenuous or demanding driving conditions can accelerate the deterioration of parts. -------------------- Dublin driving schools and dublin driving lessons magnum69 View Public Profile Send a private message to magnum69 Find all posts by magnum69 Add magnum69 to Your Buddy List   #3   01-10-2008, 09:29 PM kickingfish Junior Member   Join Date: Jan 2008 Posts: 3 don't forget to consider the miles that your car drove in changing your timing belt.. ___________________________________________ mitsubishi eclipse header | mitsubishi eclipse light kickingfish View Public Profile Send a private message to kickingfish Find all posts by kickingfish Add kickingfish to Your Buddy List « Previous Thread | Next Thread » Thread Tools Search this Thread Show Printable Version Email this Page Search this Thread: Advanced Search Display Modes Linear Mode Switch to Hybrid Mode Switch to Threaded Mode Posting Rules You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts vB code is On Smilies are On [IMG] code is On HTML code is Off Forum Jump Please select one User Control Panel Private Messages Subscriptions Who's Online Search Forums Forums Home -------------------- Cars Lounge     General     Acura     Alfa Romeo     Audi     BMW     Dodge     Ferrari     Fiat     Ford         Ford Explorer         Ford Falcon         Ford Festiva         Ford Flathead         Ford Focus         Ford Mustang     GM         GM Cadillac         GM Cadillac Deville         GM Camaro         GM Camaro Firebird         GM Chevy Malibu         GM Corvette         GM Fiero         GM Oldsmobile         GM Pontiac     Honda     Hyundai     Infiniti     Isuzu     Jaguar     Kia     Lexus     Mercedes Benz     Mini     Mitsubishi     Nissan     Peugeot     Porsche         Porsche 911         Porsche 928         Porsche 944     Rolls Royce     Saab     Subaru     Toyota         Toyota Camry         Toyota MR2         Toyota Prius     Volkswagen         Volkswagen Beetle     Volvo All times are GMT -8.
