WHen should timing belt be replaced?
What is your question?
We just bought a 2001 Spyder Eclipse. We do not know when or if the timing belts has ever been replaced. How can we check its condition. What is the ballpark figure if it needs replacing? Thanks!

You can pull the timing cover off to check the condition. The cost is dependant on wether it needs a water pump, tensioner, or idler pulleys. We can get it in and check it for you if needed. Give us a call, Advanced Auto Clinic in Delavan, 263-728-2944. It's best to bring it in so we can look at it to give you an accurate estimate if your interested.

I understand the milage it should be checked. That's not my question. My question is how can we tell how old the current belt is? We bought it used 3 weeks ago and do not know its history or when it was last replaced. Is there a way to tell or not? Also, how much is it to replace one? Thanks
