Default GS400 Timing Belt Question

I haven't had the GS400 very long, but when i did get it, it had more than 90K on it. I know at 90K it's suppose to get the timing belt replaced.

I pulled the records from the dealer and they only show service while it was under warranty. I can only assume that the owner took the car to his local mechanic for service after that.

Today i was noticing that the accessory (serpentine) belt had been replaced with a NAPA brand belt. So then i was wondering if they also replaced the timing belt too.

So the main question....is there an inspection plate or cover that can be removed on the GS400 so that i can look to see if the timing belt is also a NAPA brand?

Thanks,
Kyle

Only one way to be sure, replace it, expensive but cheap compared to repairs if it breaks.
