Thanks for your upload.

How often will you guys change the timing belt ? the manual said 60k km for inspection and 90k km for replacement. But in HK, people in the forum will said it is better to replace it in 50k ~60k mileage, as Korean-made car do have a shorter life-cycle on this part and a broken timing belt will sure damage the engine (no matter it is running or idle-to-startup). And one more thing, just curious Is it expensive to replace timing belt in Malayasia/Singapore ? It cost about US$200 to do this kind of maintenance in HK local gargage. Normally we don't do inspection only as the labour cost to extract it already contribute a considerable amount in the total bill.

Hi os_ecu,

Yes, the book says change it at 60,000km but many says it can last till 90,000km. For me, I changed at 70,000km just to be safe. It cost me S$380 to get it change inclusive of parts and labour and also the water pump. Upon close inspection on the belt after the mechanic took out, the belt looks good without much wear or tear...So I guess what people say about changing the timing belt at 90,000km can be quite true to a certain extent but do it at your own risk. :amen:

Since you live in HK, it'll be the same as in Singapore as most of the time you are doing City driving more than Highway driving. When you are driving around in the city, there are lots of start-stop traffic conditions, even you do not clock any mileage, the engine still turns and moving off does take it toll on the belt and bearings. So, you can't really follow the recommended mileage in the manual as those are not for high city driving conditions. Take about 20% or 30% lesser than the recommended mileage for the changing of the timing belts, tensioners and bearings.

Thanks for your advice. I do share the same feeling as the tear and wear of Timing Belt cannot be estimated directly from mileage. As the engine is running, no matter it is idle or not, the aging is still carry on.

I think I will replace it in 60k km together with the pulley, water bump and all other belts.

Btw, how is the Traget's gas comsumption in Singapore ? We (data get with some other Trajet owners) in HK about 7~9 km/l (or HK$1.8~HK$2.0/km, we have around 100% tax imposed in HK) depending on the driving route /habbit

I like to download the files about the timing belts.
Can anyone put these on-line? :liebe011:

Actually, that would be a copyright violation.

Why don't you join the hmaservice.com website? It's free, it's the official Hyundai service website, and it's got all that information available. Only for US cars, unfortunately.
