本人的车是辆Toyota Tercel，想自己换timing belt，不知道是否可行？需要哪些工具，更换步骤，以及注意事项？

多谢！祝各位新年快乐！

大家一般买的旧车，可能都会碰到换timing belt的问题，所以请了解这方面情况的朋友指点一下，这样做对很多人都会有帮助的。

我也很想了解timing belt的作用，那位有经验的朋友给介绍介绍。

谢了！

Replace the timing belt
If a car's timing belt fails, the engine won't run. Neglect your car's timing belt and you risk much more than an unexpected pit stop. The snapping of a timing belt could severely damage your car's engine.

And you won't know a timing belt is about to break until it snaps and leaves you stranded on the side of the road.

With timing belts there's no warning, it just goes.If it breaks it could cost you well over $1,000.

Replacing a timing belt costs $200 to $300. And you should do so every 60,000 to 75,000 miles.

一个timing belt不会很贵吧？我了解了一下Toyota Tercel车的timing belt也就几十加币，是不是换timing belt比较麻烦，人工费高，所以才要花二、三百块钱？

To sharpman:
how do you think the labor charge? And did you know how long usually to change car's timing belt?
I tell you that it will spend at least 4 or 5 hours.you got it?

谢谢youze，明白了不少。

那么，如果自己是第一个车主，当车子行使到一定的公里数后，自己知道什么时候该换timing belt。  

我的问题是车子是从外地买来的，刚刚10万公里，无法知道是否换过timing belt，在这种情况下，如何才能知道是否换过？

greg_song

这样的话，我还是别自己找事了。还是请修车行换吧。

To mmi:
In my opinion,I suggest you'd better go to garage such as Canadian Tire or your car's brand Dealer ,and ask mechanic to check your car carefully, especially for timing belt.
