Asked by David Lynch
My 2010 Holden Epica diesel is coming due for its 6-year annual service in May. The book specifies changing the timing belt at 6 years/90,000 km but my car has only done 63,000 km. It has been trouble-free, so should I worry about changing the belt at the next service, or should I wait until it's done 90,000 km?
Answered by CarsGuide
9 May 2016Change the belt as recommended at six years. Belts deteriorate with age as well as kilometres and you don't want to risk the damage that might occur to the engine should the belt fail.
