Usually, you start thinking about it around 100,000 miles. They really last a long time, some the life of the car. You should be able to remove one of the covers and take a peak at the belt. Make sure there are no cracks on the belt or it is not tore. Make sure that there is no teeth missing on the belt as well. Start your car and watch it spin. Try to notice if you see it slipping any, if you can. It should be in good shape but you just never know. If it does break, your car will not start and you can possibly get engine damage. The choice is yours. Best wishes. If it was mine, I would change it if money wasn't an issue. They can last a while though. Do to all the covers, they last much longer then your regular belts.

Required maintenance for the 2005 kia spectra at 57,000 miles

Not sure if it helps you but the manufacturer suggests changing your timing belt around 60,000 miles. I did this at 80k and bought a kit which included a tensioner replacement. Labor intensive but if you don't do this you run the risk of damaging your engine to the point of having to replace it altogether.(if your timing belt should fail) When your timing belt fails your pistons can damage valves which may be left open due to the camshaft not being spun by the timing belt.Hope this helps a bit.... I now have enjoyed 122k miles of trouble free motoring in my 05 spectra..

Timing belt in a 2005 hyundai replacement

You should find another dealer. Hyundai recommends replacing the belt every 60,000 miles and this dealer knows this. No reason at all to replace it at 42,093 miles. Remember that this is an interference engine so if the belt breaks serious engine damage will occur. Do not neglect this service at 60,000 miles.

I have a 2005 Kia Spectra.I have 67000miles on it. I was told, because of the milage I need to change the timeing Belt. Will it give me a warning?

Yes, Kia's recommended replacement is at 60,000 miles.

It's the type of thing that if you plan for it and have it done, you won't find yourself broken down and wishing you had done it.

have them recheck the timing, the belt may be out one tooth and they need to reline up the timing marks, it never should have left the shop like that.
