Timing belt in a 2005 hyundai replacement

"POP" LIKE A BACKFIRE???.....TIMING BELT IS 1 OR MORE TEETH OFF

Car Manufacturer's Recommendations A standard replacement period for the timing belt will fall between 50,000 and 100,000 driven miles. The owner's manual or service manual for your particular model will give you a specific time for replacement.

The manufacturer's recommendation is to replace the timing belt every 60,000 miles for this vehicle.

Your Hyundai's engine is an interference engine, meaning that if the timing belt breaks the engine will suffer major damage. At least a valve job, probably the head being replaced and in the worst case an engine replacement.

The recommended replacement interval for a timing belt is 60k, your already over so I would replace it as soon as feasible.

The timing belts must be replaced every 5 years or 50k miles, whatever comes first. The other belts whenever they give signs of slipping, no fixed date.

Usually a timing belt replacement is based on mileage not age. However, I would have the belt visually inspected to make sure it still is in good condition. If the belt breaks it can cause serious engine damage. The inspection should cost you very little as most newer cars has inspection plattes that come off with a few bolts, you could even do it yourself. I would think that you are fine, but better safe then sorry. My hyundai elantra went for 120,000 miles with the same timing belt and is still going today with its new owner.

NEED TO REPLACE BELT AT 60,000 MILES

Carfixer 1 is right. The Hyundai engine is called an interference engine, which means that when the timing belt breaks, it will allow the valves to hit the pistons and you will ruin your engine.

Do yourself a favor and replace the belt at recommended intervals. If you are past the 60k mark, have it done right away and save yourself a lot of grief and expense.

YES!! It's always better to replace a timing belt before it breaks. The cost of a timing belt break can become beyond comprehension. Don't try to get around this much-needed maintenance. It's WELL worth the money in the long run, and usually even in the short run.

yes it is due at 60,000
