Should I change my timing belt and water pump?

car has 113,000 miles on it.



should i change timing belt and water pump, all orginal?

should i also change starter and alternato and thermostate



thermostat was replaced at 65,000 miles

however, how long does the timing belt last, what if i waith another 60,000 miles?Should I change my timing belt and water pump?You didn't say what kind of car you have.

With that many miles I would have it changed. It is a good time. Changing the water pump is a good idea if the water pump is driven by the the timing belt.

In any case, change the belt, water pump and the thermostate also.Should I change my timing belt and water pump?I don't think you have to change it until after 200,000 miles. But every time you change your oil you should check for cracks or wear in your timing belt.Should I change my timing belt and water pump?Depending on who made your car timing belts usually wear out at about 75K miles

If you are going to replace the timing belt its a good idea to replace the water pump at the same time they are located next to each other and on some models the timing belt runs the pumpShould I change my timing belt and water pump?They recommend replacing TIMING (in the motor) belts every 120000. They recommend replacing the serpentine (on the motor) belt every 50000 or if it shows any signs of wear or damage.
