TIMING BELT MAINTENANCE INTERVAL 850 1994

The timing belt was replaced at 75.000kms (46.600 miles) in my car. Now it has 135.000kms (84.000 miles) and I am thinking in replacing it again.

Which interval do you apply in your cars?

Thanks in advance!

70,000 miles on 1994 but I also go by years - no more then 4 or 5.

Never hurts to do early!

It was early. I believe it's supposed to be 60k miles on that year, 70 K on later ones.

The interval for everything from '94-'98 was changed to 70K miles, but never hurts to do it a bit early. At the second change, do all the tensioners, pullies, etc., along with the Serp. belt and consider doing the water pump and a new wp gasket.

I dont have the owner's manual.

And I want to know about the experience, not only from theory.

I have a 97 850 wagon and had the belt changed at 68,000 miles. Never any issues. Will plan to do it again around 135 or so (at 105 at the moment). I think the service interval for mine is 70K, so I'm being just a little conservative with it.

Thanks a lot.

So, it seems the belt was replaced in my car very early, very conservative maintenance.

So I see I can wait for the next service without risks.
