I have a 02 Kia Rio, I changed the timing belt at 66 thousand and change. Im up to 126,370 approx. I know the manual states to change the timing belt every 60,000 miles but is that the case? I ask because Im going about 70 miles one way then 70 miles back.
Yes, this is VERY IMPORTANT, this is an interference engine, meaning the valves and the piston cannot be in the same place at the same time,or it will bend the valves.then you are looking at a major repair job,think or it as insurance on your engine. please rate my fix as i strive to be the best,questions,get back to me
yes change all the belts they all have to come off when you change the timing belt,so no extra labor just the price of the other belts
go to gates.com enter car info and you can get the stock numbers on the belts,it appears that you do not have a serpentine belt,you have to know if you have power steering and a/c as it makes a difference in the belts, please rate my fix

I told the repair shop a few weeks ago to check the belts and they told me they are not good but I can change them within a few months. They suggested I change all the belts
Which belts do I need to get? I see from auto stores they have the serpentine belt, but then online stores have the v-belt, multi-rib belt, etc
Yes I do have power steering and a/c. It has auto transmission too.
