Replying to: Dansker (Dec 19, 2008 5:34 pm) I have an '02 Kia Rio Cinco I just bought in May. I may be forgetful about some car maintenance things, but I have always been religious about changing timing belts on time. A mechanic may also suggest that at some point you replace the water pump at the same time (I don't know how long they should last) because they're close together and it costs the same in labor for either job. So I did that once, too. I agree with the other writer who said it should cost around $450 or so and I don't think you need to have it done at a dealership--any competent mechanic can get the right belt and do it--I avoid getting work done by dealerships whenever I can--they always charge more! I kept my last car 16 years and although I had another belt go out on me without warning 'cause I hadn't been checking it or getting someone else to do it--it was easy to access and cheap to replace, unlike a timing belt. So your friend's mechanic is quite right. In Canada I replaced my timing belt every 100,000 km (60,000 miles). Good luck with your car!

Replying to: Dansker (Dec 19, 2008 5:34 pm) In all actuality you must have your timing belt replaced at 40,000.Your warranty is up on it already because it was not changed yet.If you dont know anyone who can change the belt you will have to have the dealership do it.Do it now before its too late,trust me,been there,done that and you dont want that to happen.Your belt breaks and you will have to get a new motor.Have them change the water pump also.

Replying to: rioowner (Feb 01, 2008 1:51 pm) Hi. U are in for big time headache.U might need another ENGINE.While the engine was running as u say your TIMING BELT might have jumped.Due to lack of foresight of not replaceing it as recomended by Kia.I think every 90.000.Km.U have to remove the front timing cover to axcess the cam shafts .Then try to turn the engine manually see and feel that it is turning without any high resistance or locking up.If it does then DRAIN and Contain your coolant from the engine,and go on to remove your CLYNDERHEAD.if your valves are bent get the clyhead repaired by a machine shop or rebuild shop.Check that your Pistons are not damaged [No holes ] if they are then i am afraid that u will need another engine.I hope that answers you Question.
