A timing belt has both a mileage limit and a time limit. The correct interval depends on your engine, so check the vehicle handbook or ask your garage.

Start with the service history

Find the date and mileage of the last replacement. If the history is unknown, ask a garage to assess what needs doing rather than assuming the belt is recent.

Set your own reminder

In Revler you can record maintenance and set reminders based on time or mileage. Use the interval for your car, rather than a generic number from the internet.
