Greetings All!

Good news: oldest son think's he will make dean's list at college this semester; bad news: if he does, he gets to take our 91 244 back with him for the next semester ("incentive for academic excellence").

No issues with the car, except the possible age/mileage on the timing belt (124K miles). We bought the car 2 years ago from an independent garage/ dealership (105K at the time). They thought the timing belt had been changed "recently," but had no records--no dated "sticker" on the car either.

Is there some tell-tale sign of belt wear I can check for, or should we just bite the bullet and do the belt over Christmas break? Also, it appears there are no leaks from the coolant pump or any of the seals--is it best to leave these sleeping dogs lie?

Thanks in advance--and have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!

Steve A-
