Mazda Timing Belt Replacement

It is recommended that a timing belt should be change every 100,000km. Honda's and Acura's especially. Whenever the water pump is changed, it is also wise to change the timing belt too as it is all in one spot, and VS. In some cars, [Acura's], when the timing belt breaks, it also can tear your valves in your engine apart, so I hope that this answers your question

Your timing belt should be replaced every 50-70,000 miles. Carmakers have specified the replacement intervals for timing belts. In this database you will find these timing belt replacement intervals along with a little technical information regarding the valve configuration - interference or non-interference. In an interference engine, the valves and piston share the same air space. They never touch, unless your timing belt breaks or skips, and this is a catastrophic failure that requires removing the head and replacing bent valves. Non-interference engines do not risk this contact if the timing belt goes. Nonetheless, either can leave you stranded, so regular timing belt replacement is very important.

Your water pump is driven by your timing belt, can not be seen with out remove timing belt cover, to replace you will also have to remove timing belt, if timing belt has not been replace best to replace it now also, timing belt should be replace every 60,000 miles. make sure before removing timing belt that you mark where all pulley gear's are at, so when you install the timing belt back on there in the same place as before you move the timing belt, no need to mark water pump gear,good luck,hope this was very helpful.

Check Your Timing Belt

• Check your owner's manual for the recommended mileage for replacing your timing belt. Replacement for Hyundai Sonatas is 60,000 miles.
• Locate the timing belt and examine it for breaks, damage, fraying, worn spots or looseness.
• Inspect the belt for cracked or missing teeth that may be the result of foreign material collecting between them.
• Determine if the timing belt damage is on both sides. Single-side damage may be caused by the timing belt's guide.

Remove Your Timing Belt

• Disengage the negative battery cable.
• Turn the tensioner arm to the right 14° and take the timing belt off its pulley.
• Take out the coolant pump, idler, tensioner and crankshaft pulleys and both timing belt covers.
• Remove the engine's mounting insulator and mount bracket and the auto tensioner.
• Align the crankshaft's timing mark so the first cylinder piston is at "Top Dead Center" (TDC). The camshaft sprocket and cylinder head cover timing marks also should align.
• Unfasten the timing belt.

Replace Your Timing Belt

• Examine the cam and crankshaft sprockets. Replace if there is excessive wear or other damage.
• Position the new timing belt on the sprockets.
• Relax the timing belt tensioner so it can make contact with the belt. Adjust the belt to the tension recommended in your vehicle owner's manual. Also align the timing indicators on the cam, crank and other sprockets.
• Return the engine to the 0° mark by turning it two revolutions in the direction of travel.
• Secure the timing belt cover and reinstall whatever was removed to access the timing cover.
• Reconnect the negative battery cable and any other items that were disconnected.
• Start the engine and look for leaks

Somewhere between 90,000 mil;es and 120,000 miles you should do your timing belt. But first make sure you do not have a timg chain. If you have a timing chain, you never have to change it at all.

1. Remove the Alternator Belt.
2. Remove the Water Pump Pulley
3. Remove the Air Conditioner Belt and Power Steering Belt.
4. Remove the Crankshaft Pulley.
5. Remove the timing belt cover
6. Remove the timing belt tensioner pulley.
7. Remove the Timing Belt.
8. (If Replacing) Remove Idler Pulley.
Installation is reverse of removal. Keep a close eye on the timing marks on the cam sprockets to make sure you don't knock anything out of whack.

I would strongly recommend replacing the water pump while you are replacing the timing belt. (The water pump usually comes in the timing belt kit.) Otherwise you are going to have to do this all over again when your water pump goes out. Good Luck.
