Quote "http://wiki.answers.com/Q/When_should_you_replace_a_timing_belt_on_a_2001_Toyota_Celica_GTS"




Answer If the vehicle is 1999 or newer and is equipped with a timing belt, you should replace it every 90,000 miles or six years, whichever comes first. For all other Toyota vehicles equipped with a timing belt, it is recommended that the belt be checked with the other drive belts at 60,000 miles or four years, whichever comes first, and every 15,000 miles thereafter and replaced if necessary. Because inspection may cost about as much as replacement, many customers may find it more cost effective to replace the timing belt at 60,000 mile intervals.
If the timing belt breaks while the vehicle is being driven, severe engine damage could result. The higher the speed, the more extensive the damage could be.
For additional questions, refer to your Scheduled Maintenance Guide or Owner�s Manual Supplement or contact your local Toyota dealership.

At how many miles should i change my timing belt? 2002 ford escort 2.0 liter

According to the 1997-2002 Ford Escort Manual the average replacement interval is every 60,000 Miles (96,000 Kilometers). I unfortunately procrastinated and my timing belt snapped at 109,000 Miles and I had to go to the junk yard for a new engine. I had to replace a whole engine for not replacing a $15.00 belt.

My wife has an 200 model Toyota Celica with

I believe the Celica has a belt and it should be inspected every 100,000 miles or so. You can inspect it yourself and as long as there is no missing teeth on the belt or cracks it shouldn't need replacing. Good luck to you

1999 Celica Recommended Maintenance

They are not taking him for a ride. 2000 model year and back timing belt replacement intervals are recommended every 60,000 miles. 2001 & up is reocmmended every 90,000 miles.
Yes, the car will be running good, but, the timing belt does get weak over time, and can break or "jump time" (jump a tooth or 2), at any given moment, with NO warning.
Yes, do get the belt changed.
BUT: 800.00 is a lot of money. TOO much money, IMHO.
The flat rate on that engine is 4.0 hrs. At my labour rate here, That equates to $280.00 plus a $50.00 belt. I get roughly $350/Celica belt replaced total; w/o a water pump upsell.
$800.00? Exhorbitant. Looks like the shop is charging you $185.00/hr. Find another shop.
That price is not robbery, it is rape.
