Why dont you just read and follow the manual. You could just let it break, on a dark rainfilled highway with semis bearing down on you, that might be fun for you.

Change the belt, tensioner and water pump. It is time!!!!

If you're not afraid of tow trucks, just wait. If you're scared of being stranded, change it.

Could be, but I don't do much driving on freeways anymore, and I do have AAA.

Thanks!

You don't live in snow country, do you? That could get inconvenient, if you got stranded while it's snowing.

Actually I live in the Great White North, but I never leave the city in the winter time.

BTW, How much is a timing belt/water pump change in the USA?
