Baetke

Obvious signs of wear are cracking, chaffing, or shiny areas on the smooth side of the belt but lacking any of these does not mean the belt is good. I have seen a belt fail that looked practically new. Don't rely on a visual inspection of the belt to determine if it is good, only if it is bad. Look on top of the timing belt cover. If the belt was changed at a dealer, there will be a sticker there indicating the mileage at which it was last changed.
