Hi guys, should probably fire this one into a mechanic subreddit, but my mechanic/friend is in the process of doing the timing belt / water pump on my ‘98.

I bought it at 180k and the sticker said the timing belt had been done at 172k, but after we took a look we thought it best to replace and assumed that was bs.

Here’s a video of it, curious if anyone would actually know, by the looks of it, if it needed to be replaced. I assume they get worn quick, but don’t know by looking at it - if it actually was in a risky place.

Thanks as always.

Wanted to share this guy in this thread for other 3rd gen lovers. It's not fully decked out but it definitely gets me where I need to go.

I am looking into roof rack baskets. Does anyone have any advice? Are the "universal fit" racks compatible with this model?

Anything helps, thanks!
