Just purchased the car and had the timing belt replaced because it was older than 7 years. The timing belts on these cars are not very wide and are prone to premature breakage. I plan to replace it every 70k or 7 years from now on so I do not have to encounter a broken timing belt, which is no fun. Had the water pump and engine seals replaced at he same time. |

Engine started running very rough, check engine light came on. Took to nearest dealer who cleaned fuel injectors and other parts, and gas tank. |
