just wondering WHEN it has to be changed? what mileage/time?
Its a 98 auto if that makes any difference.
Thanks!

72 k, however watch out for the dreaded shredding of belt due to timing case warping because of incorrect torqing of fasteners. Personally I get mine done at 2/3 the recomended mileage on any car to try and be safe. Can't see why an auto should make any difference but I don't really know about that. Had mine done in Kent by an indipendant £ 196. Dealer wanted £500 !!!
