I have 2004 Outlander with 59,500 miles on it. I understand we are supposed to change a timing belt at 60,000 miles. I heard some say the new model of car these days the timming belt can go over 90,000 miles.

Could anyone give me some input for this issues, please?

Thanks.

Alldatapro.com says to replace it at 60k. Hopefully manybrews can chime in too.

 

Thanks for your input. I probably have to change the timing belt soon.

Thanks.

 

I m a half of year member in this forum but maybe this should be my first post.

I'm from greece & i have tha same 2004 Outlander with about 116700 km. Two services ago (i make a service every 9000 - 10000 km) i change the timing belt.

My dealer had say that is to early to change it but i was impenitent about it. When my dealer saw the old timing belt he said that i have right. The timing belt had lines & it was ready to cut.

I suggest to change the timing belt as soon as you can.

Maybe sometimes is better to check some things alone because dealers is stupid sometimes.

 

Thank you for you info. I contacted my Dealer. They quote me at $260 plus tax and shop fee for timing belt and Timing belt balancer (Total 2 belts) in 4G69 engine.


I made an appointment for next week. Is there anything else I should change?

Thanks
