Timing Belts & Sprockets (2.0L): Inspection

  1. Inspect back of belt for being hard, non-elastic and having a glossy surface. If no mark is produced when fingernail is forced into it, replace belt.
  2. Check for rounded sides on belt. Sides of belt should be straight and clear-cut. Flaking, peeling, cracking and separating rubber from canvas also indicates belt warrants replacement. Cracks are most evident at base of tooth.
  3. Abnormal wear most often occurs on load side of tooth. Fluffy canvas, unclear canvas texture, belt color changed to White from rubber missing, reduced tooth width or a missing tooth warrant belt replacement.
