timing belt change (help)

[saxplee]

right just been looking through my service history and seen that my timing belt has been changed at 56301 miles and then again at 65417 miles and then at 73414 miles.

right the cars on 97158 miles now when the timing belt need changing?

thanks

its 60,000 miles or 10 years.

However can you see if a full kit was fitted such as tensioner and idler?

If not i would get a full kit fitted...

[saxplee]

how much for a full kit and labor?

[f13sta]

not alot bout £150-200 can be done within half hour if you know what you are doing.

If buying the kit then get a GATES kit.

But I got mine done at 70k
