When should I change my timing belt?
What will happen if not changed on time?
Can I change it myself? What do I need?
Thanks

replace timing belt every 120,000 miles. if timing belt is not changed it may become too worn and eventually break, causing damage to internal parts of engine. not sure of your mechanical experience but if you have very little , leave this repair to a reputable shop
