DAMAGE!!

The cylinders will misfire, I did it on a Honda Civic and lost a cylinder. Rigged it so the car would run on only 3 cylinders and I returned my lease not long after. The timing belt is disastrous if it isn't changed. It used to not be a belt, it was a timing CHAIN, and no one ever worried about it. Now we have a belt and when it goes, be somewhere else...

Bottom line, expensive if it has really gone, if it just needs a new timing belt, no big deal, usually 90000 miles I believe is when you would change it, but not sure on the Accent.

Good luck!!

2.4 liter, timing belt or timing chain?

Timing belt. This engine is an interference engine. Ensure the belt is replaced before it breaks to prevent internal engine damage. If replacing it as a DIY project, be sure to follow all procedures carefully as improper procedure can also result in valve or piston damage. If the belt has already broken, the odds are better than 90% that the cylinder head will need to be repaired or replaced and the pistons will need to be inspected for damage.

Timing tensinor replace

The entire front of the engine must be disassembled to replace the timing belt tensioner. Your vehicle is equipped with an "Interference engine" meaning that if the timing belt/tensioner is not installed correctly, or if the timing belt breaks or comes off of the pullies, severe engine damage will result.

I have 65,000 miles on my 2007 hyundai accent hatchback, i was told i need to change the timing belt, will it hurt the car if i still drive it until i can afford to change the belt?

The risk you run is having the belt break which can cause more extensive internal engine damage. You should at least have it looked at which can be done by a trusted mechanic. When you go in don't mention you can only do it if "it is going to break tomorrow". You should consider the cost of both scenarios. This should be a $400 or less to complete. Let me know if you need anything further.

When should timing belt be changed on hyundai accent, also what are indications that it is going bad

Hyundai recommends changing the timing belt every 60K miles. As far as symptoms go, a timing belt won't give a lot of warming prior to breaking but a few would be extremely rough idling and misfiring. You should know that a broken timing belt often will do damage to the engine. I hope you find this answers your question. All the best!

HOW TO FIX A TIMING BELT FOR HYUNDAI CAR?

If you have never done this kind of work before, buy an aftermarket service manual to guide you. Timing belts or chains improperly installed will cause rather expensive damage to an engine if, as most are, yours is an 'interference' engine, meaning that the valves and pistons can contact (and damage) each other if the cam timing is wrong.
Haynes or Chilton will have them available for your car and the $17-$30 is a good price for the amount of info you then will have. Most all auto parts stores will have them available.
