Timing belt replacement interval

Post by noelp »

The daihatsu service manual recommends replacement of the timing belt at 100,000km intervals. Is this a reasonable thing? Mine has done 180,000km with a factory service replacement at 100,000. Should I be contemplating changing it now or waiting for the 200K mark?

Change it now!

My last Daihatsu engine died when the belt snapped prematurely; as well as the engine fitted before that (but that one had an unknown service history.)
