    What's the deal with replacing the timing best on a 2002 accent?? I have had
    it for 41/2 years and there are 65000K on it. When should I start thinking
    about replacing it???

    Thanks

    Tonight is a good time. Hyundai recommends a new belt at 60k. The cost of
    having it break is many times the cost of doing it when the manufacturer
    recommends. Your car has an "interference" engine. That means the valves
    will hit the pistons if the belt breaks. That means big bucks.
