Maintenance Question
'99 Hyundai Accent GSI 65,000 kilometres
Could someone tell me what major maintenance should be done on the car by this point? The Hyundai dealership says the timing belt should be replaced at 60k for about $225. Canadian Tire says it doesn't need to be replaced til 100k and it would cost $500. I'm confused. (All prices in Canadian dollars) Chris |

The Hyundai dealership says the timing belt should be replaced at 96k k or 4 years. Canadian Tire says it doesn't need to be replaced til 100k. The Hyundai told me I could get two more years out of it or it could break tomorrow, but I don't want to spend money needlessly. What would you recommend I do? Chris |

Yours has been running for 7 years now (1999-2005), I'd get it changed. Belt life has to be a function of miles and time (and luck). Also I've been told my XG350 does not have a reputation for eatting timing belts. Dan |

Re: Maintenance Question
Personally, I think $225cdn for a timing belt change is quite
resonable. I would strongly consider going with the Hyundai dealership. The cost of a timing belt replacement is miniscule compared to a holed piston or bent valves. |

Re: Maintenance Question
The quote from the Hyundai dealer at $225 is probably correct. I got
my dealer to quote on a timing belt for a 2000 Accent a few years back because I was concerned that it could be a big bill. I was quoted $213 Canadian incl. taxes at that time.
