Timing belts should be changed around 100,000 miles. So if you already have it open then I would go ahead and do the change. The signs to look for is if the belt is loose, or cracked. A bright enough flashlight will show if the belt is cracked, looks I guess you can put it as dry skin.
REPLACE THE TENSIONER IDLER PULLEY.THE TENSIONER IDLER PULLEY MAINTAINS THE BELT TENSION WHEN IT GOES BAD.THAT WILL LEAD TO LOOSE BELT TENSION CAUSING BELT TO BREAK.
Yes, and no. The timing belt MUST BE CHANGED. It should have been changed at around 60,000miles Bad, bad things can happen if it breaks while its running. As for the tranny fluid, it has probably never been changed either so it's probably 11 years old. Just have that changed as well. Otherwise, very nice car. Good luck with it.
Yes its the correct name. Yes it should have been replaced..... but its up to the mechanics advice and the customer. its not normally replaced, but I replace all parts including the water pump, just as a matter off service, to avoid your exact problem.
Technically, nothing else needs to be changed when replacing a timing belt, however it is recommended or suggested to replace the timing belt tensioner and water pump while doing the belt. These items are only accessable when doing a timing belt. The cost should be under $100.00
If you've double checked to make sure belt on properly, you'll have to identify which wheel (pulley) is making noise and check it for any debris that may have built up on it, or possibility of bearing failure in that part. Was it not noticeable with old belt, or was old belt pretty noisy, and that's why it was changed?
