Average life of PT Cruiser timing belt ?

they should be changed around 80k, but I wouldn't sweat it too much. These are not interference engines so if it does break it will not damage your engine. When you do replace it Goodyear is making some neat timing belt kits that come with everything you'll need (except the cam and crank seals which I would replace also even if they are not leaking). Timing belt, tensioner, and water pump. If you go with a different brand other than good year I would recommend going OEM with the pump. I've had good luck with the good year pumps, but the other aftermarket brands I have used tend to go out pretty quick. Also, if you replace the belt pay close attention to your camshaft marks. They will appear a tooth off, but actually be correct. 13 year auto tech /
