How long does the average Kia Rio from '03 take before it needs it's timing belt replaced? I bought a used one and the belt blew after 97,000 miles when a pre-purchase inspection service guy told me i could wait until 100,000 miles.
I have an 03 Kia Rio, the belt broke at 137,000 mi. It cost me $1,700.00 to repair. They told me it's best to change at 80 - 85,000 mi. I've learned my lesson the hard way.
Sounds about right. timimg belts are not replaced that frequently. I have a truck with over 80,000 miles, and haven't replaced the belt yet.
