Re: When Should I Change The Timing Belt On My Chrysler...
The factory calls for every 90,000 miles. Do not exceed this as this is an "Interference Engine" and if the belt fails it will cause severe engine damage.

change timing chain when noisy and belt around 100.000klm. To do a proper job consider changing cam and crank oil seals. hydraulic belt tensioner and all idler pulleys as oil is the biggest killer of timing belts and idlers work just as hard as the belt
I was not sure which engine that your vehicle is equipped with. I looked at a 2.4 and 2.7 liter engine and these bolt seem to have a timing chain. This should not need the regular maintenance that the older belt models did. You should be in luck!
Depending on the engine type this is a big job, the waterpump is driven by the timing belt and you must use caution as to engine damage may ocurr, if the timing gears are not 100% aligned when installing the timing belt heres a diagram to show you what im talking about,
if you have the 2.4 engine, the water pump is external and driven by the timing belt.you need a water pump - timing belt component kit. the 2.7 has a internal water pump driven by the timing chain. here again you should install a water pump- timing kit. 2.7 is more complex and expensive to change
Your engine should be a 2.5L V-6, Chrysler recommends timing belt replacement every 60,000, also timing belt drives the water pump, not bad idea to also replace, while in there, this is an interference engine where if timing belt fails, will cause piston to valve damage.Hope this was very helpful.
The belt is supposed to last for 105,000 miles. These sebring cars are notorious for breaking timing belts well before then. If your car has over 80,000 on it I would schedule a timing belt change in the near future. Don't be surprized if you have to also change the water pump.
