Klaus, 1998 was a transition year for timing belts. Mine happens to have the newer kind with non-hydraulic tensioner. This probably means that my belt is a 105K belt. Being that the car is 9 years old now I am going to change the belt and the tensioner now at 65K miles. I would love to not have to worry about it until 105K, but I have heard bad stories about time induced failures of belts and tensioners. So, I am going to spend the $100 in parts now to alleviate my paranoia about this issue.
