My manual says to inspect the drive belt at some point, says nothing about changing it. Is drive belt that same as timing belt? Or do I have a chain? I have 120k miles on it now should I do something? Help I am afraid it will break.

 

Your car has both a timing chain and a drive belt. A drive belt is not the same as a timing belt.

 

Thanks, Tech8. Can the drive belt fail suddenly? Should I replace it if it not giving me any problems? After 120k miles it must be worn out, or is it fine?

 

Even if the drive belt breaks, it wouldn't be catastrophic. I would replace it as part of routine maintenance. It is a relatively easy to moderate job for most people.

 

Thanks, onward now to YouTube.

 

Just did a belt on my 06. Most cramped space ever. I did, however, get a gates belt for next to nothing at rockauto.com
