Ok, i have a 2005 chevy aveo and i would like to ask when the timing belt and tune up should be done on it. its at 58,000 miles now
NOW. These cars are notorious for timing belts snapping and GM has advised to replace at 60K. I have this car and it has an interference engine, meaning that if the belt snaps there is a good chance the engine's pistons will bend the intake/exhaust valves, meaning you would have to have the engine rebuilt if this happens.
I am about to have mine changed, along with the water pump and tensioner since the water pump should be replaced before 100,000 and involves the same labor. I've found that at a Chevy dealership the whole package ranges from $500-$800 depending on who you call.
Change the water pump at the same time to save yourself some money as the motor is already apart at that point. A new or rebuilt engine will run you at least $2500 if you don't fix or service your vehicle properly.
Change the timing belt at 60,000 , i did not and i am having all kinds of problems with my 2005 Aveo
