Hello cksoucy110: My name is Roger and I will help you. The manufacturer recommends replacement of the timing belt at 60,000 miles. Does not matter if a 4 Cly or v-6 engine. Also be mindful of these are interference engines. That means if the timing belt breaks while the engine is running you will do serious engine damage. You will bend valves and damage pistons. Should you need further help please just ask. Please rate the answer you received as this way I know it was helpful Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger
in the uk the timing belt requires replacing every 7 years or 70k i would do it well before this time .my car is 5 years old diesel and its only done 19k but next year at the 6th service it will get changed as will the auxiliary drive belt {the serpent} go to an independent and pay around 400 pounds for the both belts to be done or go to hyundai and pay a lot more!
