Default Timing Belt

When are we supposed to change our timing belts and "v" belts? Basically, at what intervals?

90,000 miles for the TB

as for the VB it should also be 90,000 but I changed mine right around 80,000 because it started to break, it would have lasted for the 90k mark but I didnt want to take a chance. By the way the reason it started to crack is because of the weather around here, the V-belt is very exposed and it tends to get wet often, I guess its just a design flaw in the GS400

Is 90,000 pushing it or is the normal time to replace it? Also, if you read my other post, you would know my dilema with these horrible belts! Thanks for the help though! I am approaching 60,000 miles, so I thought I might need to change the timing belt with the scheduled 60k service (if applicable). Thanks!
