When to replace the timing belt on 924S?
 

I have 87 924S. Since the timing belt was changed by last owner I think the car has racked up about 30,000 miles. I say "I think" because the oddometer is not working from day one of my ownership. I had checked this board for the subject on the timing belt, and I am confused. While the warranty and maintenance booklet from Porsche does not clearly specify the life limit of the timing belt someone on the boad say it must be replaced at 30,000 miles. The pelican say the belt must be replaced at 60,000 miles. Who is correct? What is your oppinion?

Hi.

Thank you for your info.

This has nothing to do with my Porsche but thought it's interesting. I was looking at my wife's Mazda's manual for this subject. It says 60,000 for cars sold in the U.S. other than California and Massachusets. For cars sold in these two states it is 105,000. Wow.

I had worked on my friends 300ZX. Its belt broke about 100,000. Working on that engine was nightmare. Hope my 924S is better than that.

I'd better start saving money and strength for the job now. I am looking at more than the belts. Front seals and maybe water pump also needs to be changed by that time.:(

Thank you,
Maachan
