Thanks v much for this explanation. My mechanic just rang me after I dropped off the car for its annual service this morning and recommended I have the timing belt replaced. My car is a Kia Cerato hatch 2006 model and he and I don’t think it has ever been replaced. I’ve only done 79, 000 km (49, 088 miles) in that time mind (it’s my shopping cart on bigger wheels! 😅) but it’s well over 10 years. Spending this money now will, yes, save potentially a lot more money if the whole engine went kaboom! without the proper maintenance 💥🚙 💥. Thanks again for the explanation 😊.

Might be best to have the timing belt & water pump changed PRIOR to purchasing this pre-owned vehicle ! Interference engines are not designed to have delayed or improper servicing ! Can you say anything about Genuine vs aftermarket parts for this job ? In particular, the waterpumps - who makes highest quality (non Chinese) parts - Best to go back to Genuine, European parts ? Thank you !

The best thing to do is stay away from vehicles with timing belt and go with the timing chain
