..

it will be leaking oil onto the belt
it should be changed with every belt change along with all seals and idler pulleys
when in doubt ot oil residue in the housing, change it out

Lol absolutely. It will knock if bad on any car. Need to replace it and the timing belt/chain asap. If not you will kill the engine.

Your capable of opening the hood to
look aren't you? Or going to an auto
parts store for help & buy all of them

If you don't know how many you have,
I would assume you never inspected them to
see their condition

What's next?

How do I install them!!

VW say check for fraying of edges,toyota say 60k,personally i suggest every 60k,that way you will not have any VERY big bills when it snaps.......

Please don't forget to rate....thanks-

No, consult you owners manual, most belts, timing belts are made of kevlar and last to about 80 to 110,000 miles, be very careful though to see if your engine is a zero clearance engine , meaning the pistions can contact the valves if they become out of time by a failed or sliipped timing belt, it is good to be on the safe side and inspect occasionally the belts, there should be a cover where you can see a section of the belt for inspection purposes, check the entire belt for missing teeth and or cracks and freying, if any of those are present change belt, if you have zero clearance motor failed timing belt can destroy thr top end of the motor causing a very expensive repair... 60,000 miles in on the safe side...

That is a very long answer............Get a repair manual........Not an easy belt to change....

I have a 98 Montero Sport, whenever my belt sqeaks I check the tension and usually thats the problem. Tighten them accordingly and it should solve it. As for the timing belt, mine is a belt not chain. First time I had it changed was at 100,000 miles and the dealrship said I was cutting it close ><
