i got my state insp done last week and they said that my timing belt chg was due.they qouted me for like 800 bucks...so i said no way .....anythhing special about our timing belt or can i just do it myself?

zumspeedsupra · November 5th, 2010, 02:18 PM

Thats ridiculous! How many miles do you have?

ThE JaIMsTa · November 5th, 2010, 03:01 PM

timing belt? i must be thinking of something different because all i can recall right now is our pulley belt, well crankshaft belt, is that what cost you 800?

229boss · November 5th, 2010, 03:57 PM

65000 but car drive perfect

zumspeedsupra · November 5th, 2010, 04:14 PM

Yea I need to research when are cars needs things replaced, but $800 seems a little much

randman · November 5th, 2010, 07:05 PM

Um that's cheap the GT is 1200 which includes crank position sensor ,throttle body position sensor and water pump.

229boss · November 5th, 2010, 07:22 PM

ok so its really supposed to be expensive then just asking yall opinion

randman · November 5th, 2010, 07:38 PM

Yep it isn't cheap maintenance but it is vital. I wouldn't go past 70 k regardless of how its running.

kazman · November 5th, 2010, 07:43 PM

ya... suppose to chang eit at 60k. recommended by dealer.
had mine done and it ran me in the 900 range.

kazman · November 5th, 2010, 07:43 PM

keep in mind too that if it snaps, your motor is practically done for.

360jeepboy · November 6th, 2010, 12:24 AM

Yea I'm pushing 80k miles and haven't done it yet. I hope the car makes it though winter so I don't have to change it in the cold. I don't think another 10k miles will hurt me, but you really never know....

I snapped mine in my 1G and the engine was fine after replacement which also cost 800 dollars. It is pretty much an instantaneous engine shutdown. I would think if the 1G already had that safety feature the newer version's do as well. However by no means am I saying to drive your car until it snaps.

360jeepboy · November 6th, 2010, 01:12 AM

The 1g must have been a non-interferance engine. Ours is an interferance one, so the engine will go boom!

Justin · November 6th, 2010, 01:32 AM

Theyre interferance motors

DarkSidEclipse · November 6th, 2010, 01:35 AM

Actually the 63 is an interference engine now that I think about it. Maybe I just got lucky Idk. Back when it happened it was my first car I was young and not really into cars yet so I didn't know much about that stuff

Zeppy · November 7th, 2010, 01:08 AM

My dealer tech told me to buy the parts online and bring them in and save 300$. Jusy buy them from a OEM wholesale place so they have this mistu part numbers on them.

ALBOE · November 7th, 2010, 01:58 AM

Do it. It will get more expensive if you don't

229boss · November 7th, 2010, 05:26 AM

i found a timing belt on ebay for 20 dollars and i found one for 100 dollars? which one? or an i order one from autozone or similar?

229boss · November 7th, 2010, 11:52 AM

what all do i need to chg when i chg my timing belt on my 07 gs?

randman · November 7th, 2010, 12:21 PM

Water pump for sure

Ricoswave · November 7th, 2010, 12:23 PM

Just make sure you don't cheap out on timing belt components, as they are a pretty critical part of the car.

229boss · November 7th, 2010, 12:37 PM

dayco or oem...whateva autozone has.

229boss · November 7th, 2010, 12:37 PM

...whateva autozone has.timing belt and water pump...is it a easy install? diy?

ALBOE · November 7th, 2010, 03:40 PM

Diy for me, if you get one off..... Bampocrakpuhtadatadatada.
Get it from dealership

FuryMiloh · November 7th, 2010, 03:55 PM

keep in mind the labor

dont you have to pull the engine in order to get to our timing belt and change it?

ALBOE · November 7th, 2010, 04:06 PM

Not if one has girly hands

229boss · November 7th, 2010, 07:26 PM

damn so the stealership gonna hit me over the head huh for the timing belt

trevroar · November 7th, 2010, 08:32 PM

My dealership quoted < $500 including parts.

Anyways, this link should be helpful for those wanting to DIY

i know that the belt is covered completely, how long did it take you?

Clovisman · November 8th, 2010, 03:34 PM

OK, don't cheap out on parts!!! > WARNING Will Robinson, WARNING!! <

Think this one through! You either have the dealership do all the work to include parts, or your warranty is useless!! Period, end of story.

If you buy the parts and something happens, they'll say you bought inferior parts, they just installed them for you. This will not be covered under warranty. Even some parts have selflives, especially rubber type parts. What do you thing they do with the old out of date parts??

Very important when you buy parts, and I can not stress this enough when buying rubber type parts. I've worked on many older cars. I've seen brand new OEM parts come in that were in all respects looked brand new, but were past their shelflive. Installed the parts and a month later they broke. Hmmm... I'm not saying this is always the case, but when you buy off the internet, you don't always get what you expect.

Think of all the hard lessons people have learned here at 4G, some operator error, most were not. If the dealership does the work, then they are responsibe for the first 12mths, or 12,000 miles, after that the warranty will kick-in.

Looking at the service manual it doesn't look to be that bad of a job, just time consuming. The 4 cyl requires a special tool, and so does the 6 cyl but I think that can be easily fabbed.

Hello all. First post. I recently purchased a 2006 GS for my daughter. Car looks great so far. On the subject of the timing belt, I just received quotes from two local Mitsu dealers. One was for $545 and the other for $535. Both had it in the books for 4.5 hours of labor.

That sounds about right. I'm not sure on the GS but is is recomended on the GT to change out the water pump at the same time as preventive maintenance and to save you the $500 for maintenance for changing that out in 20,000 miles.

However, check your Owners Manual and what should be done/changed/inspected at 60,000 miles, that way your car will be good to go for another 60,000 miles.

Here is a link to the scheduled maintenance chart that may be helpful.

Here is the link to the the Eclipse Service Manual, everything you wanted to know about this car and how to repair or replace the parts.

funandfrugal · November 21st, 2010, 07:21 AM

Thanks for the link. Has the typo on page 47 been discussed yet? Under severe usage conditions, they suggest changing the timing belt every 960,000 km or 6,000 miles. (Obviously they meant 96,000 km and 60,000 miles.) But 960,000 km equals about 596,516 miles. That's like to the moon and back or 40 years of driving at 15,000 miles/year. Very funny.

jmk167 · May 4th, 2012, 06:23 PM

i know this is an old ass thread but i have 110k on my car on the original oem timingbelt from the factory how bad is that?

FeaRlezZ · May 4th, 2012, 06:33 PM

lets just say 60k is the recommended service

i would do it soon because last thing u want is for it to break while ur driving then ur in a shit hole at that point

snakeeyes · May 4th, 2012, 07:21 PM

^my 09 states 108k in the manual but as hard as i drive this car.70k is the farthest i will go

Under severe usage conditions, they suggest changing the timing belt every 960,000 km or 6,000 miles. (Obviously they meant 96,000 km and 60,000 miles.) But 960,000 km equals about 596,516 miles. That's like to the moon and back or 40 years of driving at 15,000 miles/year. Very funny.
