ok, so im lookin to change all my belts here pretty quick. the front two accessory belts dont look too tough, but im concerned about the timing belt. i dont really want to pay the dealership gobs of money to do the work, but i also dont want my engine to explode. has anyone done the timing belt before and if so, how difficult is it?

 

hey man, i've posted information about the timing belt change. do a search for it. you'll find a post from me

have fun. I've listed all the parts required

i did a little more research and the manual does say reccomended replacement at 105,000 miles with inspections every 30,000. everyone kept saying that it was at 60,000miles. so i've decided to hold off for now, although i will likely inspect it in the near future. i'm still probably gonna change the accessory belts anyway so that would be a good time.

On another note i'm not sure that the squeaky noise from the a/c area is a belt issue. it may be the compressor itself, or the pully. if anyone has experience in that area, advice would be helpful. i'll be at the meet on friday so i'll probably pop the hood then.
