At what milage does one change the timing belt on a 1999 ford contour? - 1
On most cars, it is typically between 90,000 and 100,000. If the car has over 100K, and you are not sure whether the belt has been changed, I would go ahead and change it. My uncle once purchased a used car that had 120,000 miles. He figured that the timing belt would have already been changed since it was a good amount over the interval. At around 160,000 miles, the timing belt snapped and ruined the whole cylinder head. These belts are designed to last a good while after the recommended replacement time, but this goes to show, if you neglect it for too long, it can end up costing you down the road.
Hi the average car needs a timing belt change every 50k miles.
If the engine is an OHV model, you have timing chains, not belts, & they pretty much go forever…

- When to change timing chain and belt? When do you change timing chain and timing belt on a ford expedition V8? My dad has never changed them and I told him that he probably needs to already because it could be dangerous if he keeps driving it like that. The truck has almost 200,000 miles. And he has never had any problems with the engine. I just checked the owners manuel and it says just to inspect it at 120,000 but it never says when to replace it.
