Where possible the recommended intervals have been compiled from vehicle manufacturers' information. In a few
instances no recommendation has been made by the manufacturer and the decision to replace the belt must be
made from the evidence of a thorough examination of the condition of the existing belt.
Apart from the visible condition of the belt, which is explained fully later in this section, there are several other
factors which must be considered when checking a timing belt:

considerable expensive damage may well be the result.
8. The cost of replacing a belt as part of a routine service could be as little as 5 to 10% of the repair cost
following a belt failure. Make sure your customer is aware of the consequences.
9. If in doubt about the condition of the belt - RENEW it.
The previous use and service history of the vehicle must always be taken into account.
CAUTION: This engine has been identified as an INTERFERENCE engine in which the possibility of valve-
to-piston damage in the event of a timing belt failure is MOST LIKELY to occur.
A compression check of all cylinders should be performed before removing the cylinder head(s).
