Timing belt Question
Is there a wear indicator on the timing belt or a rule of thumb that I should follow when knowing when to change it? I just purchased the car and do not know when it was changed last.

not really the belt should be relplaced after a certain number of kilometers. If your not sure when it was last done you can either do it or wait untill it snaps and then do it but you will be stranded wherever it snaps. Its a pricy job to get done and you should do the water pump when you do the belt to avoid paying labour twice and its the labour that cost 80% the other 20 is the cost of the belt and water pump. To answer your question there is unfortunatly no wear indicator or rule of thumb you just change it after 80 thou. kms or whatever the service intrerval might be from the manufacturer.

How many KM does your car have?
There is no indicator, but you can also physically check the condition of the belt. Look for signs of wear and tear. Stretch marks. And most commonly cracks. If you see these, then most definately you should get it replaced.
