When to replace the timing belt

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Timing belt

In this cute cartoon, we are given specific instructions on when to change the timing belt of our car; it is not easy to understand, but over time the rubber belt wears out, and we must keep in mind that even if we do not drive many kilometers we must change it after a certain period of time. A worn belt means that the engine parts timing goes haywire, and pistons and valves can collide causing such serious damage to the engine that the repair can cost thousands of euros. Even though changing the belt is expensive, it is always less expensive than the damage that a broken belt can cause, so remember the interval not only in terms of kilometers, but also in terms of time for replacement.
