Very informative to noobs.

@000thisone000 That would probably help, but as you saw in this video, it's as much a matter of the size and strength of the "teeth" on the belt, as it is of the "backing" of the belt. 60k miles is a long time for a piece of rubber to last, especially under such extreme conditions.

It's amazing how long timing belts last, especially considering how much force they take, and the temperature extremems they endure. The t-belt in my '89 Pontiac LeMans broke once: like the one shown in this video, several of the teeth stripped off; but fortunately, it's not an "interference" engine, so the valves and the pistons CAN'T hit one another. Just towed it home and put on a new belt.

Do not be CHEAP and change your timing belt before it breaks and create lots of headaches.
Do not attempt to do it yourself unless you are a trained technician. Remember being cheap cost a lot more.

Get a Heynes Manual - they always suggest belt changes at 40-60k or once every six years, because the belt will perish. Never seen me wrong.

@pepene93 While chains don't break they stretch as they get older and eventually if they get loose enough it can jump a tooth causing timing problems. But yes they do last longer.

@000thisone000 because just like tires they will start to crack and wear anyway timing chains are better but still need to be replaced

i drive mercedes no belt to change :)
-
just buy a new motor and swap it because i think it comes out way cheaper depending on the car

Supposed to change the belt at 105,000, it broke at 89,000 and VW won't cover it? Kind of like the sludge problem afflicting so many cars. They don't care if you had the oil changes done on schedule, they won't warranty the blown motor. Automakers are the biggest crooks after banks and insurance companies.
