HOW many miles on the car? What's the engine serial number?

posted by  someone claiming to be Samurai on  Tue Jan 13 08:03 CST 2004 [RELATED]

For the hydraulic tensioner they're recommending replacing it every SECOND belt change.

Early '98 svc70s have a hydraulic tensioner and a 70k mile timing belt interval. If you have a late '98 svc70 with engine serial #1266128 or up, the engine probably has a '99 type belt that comes with a mechanical tensioner. These need replacement at 105k miles, but the mechanical tensioner also MUST BE replaced at the same time, and this can be tricky.
