Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Timing belt

If your car has a timing belt, it is usually recommended to replace it, especially on modern cars, after 93,000 miles or six years of use. If your car has a timing chain, there is no set mileage for replacement. The only advice is to have it checked annually by your trusted mechanic, particularly after 124,000 miles, when it may start to show signs of wear. These are complex tasks suitable only for experienced mechanics.
