Mileage is the ONLY indicator - timing belt failure will leave you stranded with absolutely no previous symptoms.

Most manufacturers recommend the change at 60,000 miles. Check your owners manual for the maintenance schedule on your particular model to be sure.

';The timing belt must be changed every 60,000 miles. Although the California Owner's Manual says 105,000 miles, this is just to satisfy a state requirement that says timing belts should last 100,000 miles or more.';



';The average life of a timing belt is 60,000-90,000 miles. ...';



Sooooo.....if you want to drive on borrowed time, go ahead, wait for 100,000 miles. It's been my experience that you won't make it.What is the indication that I have to change the timing belt for daihatsu 96 model and how much?
There's really not any usual indication on most vehicles. The exception is if a belt is ';loose'; and jumps a gear tooth. Then you would get a rough idle and rough running engine. If you let the belt break your repair bill will be more than your vehicle is worth if it is an interference engine. Interference means the valves will drop and hit the pistons! Perhaps another person knows if it is an interference engine, most brands are. Cost to replace the belt (and maybe the water pump at the same time) will likely be $350-$650. If the belt breaks, regardless of engine type, you are stuck on the road. Hope this helps!
hahahahaha! Oh Sorry! JJVikings08 made me laugh! He is right it should be changed after 100K miles.



';shes lost her mind'; Hahahahaha!!!



Anyways, since yours is a 1996 model, i take it, that it probably is over the 100K mile mark. S you should get it changed soon, oh and while you are getting it changed, also get the water pump replaced, since they are both near each other, and if you get them done separately it will cost you twice as much.
