Timing belt

[Tay]

Is it difficult to do timing belt yourself?

Also I have the airbag light on what does this mean?

Timing belt - easy enough to do yourself if you have small hands

Air bag light = clock spring gone in the steering wheel. you can get a replacement for about $150 and relace it yourself. Airbag light will disapear.

WARNING: When doing the belt, have very good lighting and make sure that the STAMPED MARKS align correctly. Beware of PAINTED marks that may be used differently. IE On several local motors I have seen vertically aligned Painted marks on motors that had horizontally aligned ENGRAVED marks. Mix them up and you will bend valves. Damn stupid mechanics who can't use a manual properly-just create confusion with their lunacy. It was clear enough before they got to it, but afterwards-more bloody difficult, because, silly me thought the paint was on the engraved mark, which it wasn't.

So be careful folks, there are incompetents about, doing things their own way.

timing belt very easy to do but make sure you do the water pump if at the 150,000 mark as if it has not been done it will very soon start leaking.mine did and im kicking my self for only doing the belt kit.just make sure you have no distraction around when doing the belt. just a personal tip
