Is there an easy way to inspect the timing belt for wear and tear on this vehicle?

Hi sanbroker,

The easiest way is to remove the upper cover to facilitate inspection.

The dealer told me there are cracks in the timing belt but they didn't take the top cover off. I know they want to up sell service, but I thought they might have an easy way to check without taking off the covers

At the covers you can see a small plug for each cover. They are inspection holes but I don't think they are able to determine the belt is cracked from that inspection hole unless the belt is in very bad condition.
