The service manual for my car recommends changing the timing belt every 100 000kms, or 5 years. My car will be up to the 5 year interval very soon, but in this time has only travelled 30-40 000kms. Looking back in the car's history, its first belt wasn't done until it was around 7 years old, I'm guessing due to the low kilometres.
I'm interested on people's thoughts on how important the time factor is? Do I need to get it done dead on 5 years even with so few kilometres?
Previous car ran a chain so I've never had to worry about this before. Happy to get it done, just want to make sure it's necessary first as I don't know how much longer I will have the car.
Thanks.
