Question Has anyone broken a timing belt on a 2001 CLS?

My car is due for the timing belt change... I had a 1984 Nissan 300zx and broke the timing belt = NO MORE engine ... is the CL engine an "interference" type like my Nissan was...? Thanks ya'll!!! Rick

I believe the outcome would be the same if a timing belt broke on a CL-S. I advise changing the belt at the recommended interval or sooner depending on how severe your driving habits are.

Yes the TL is a interference type motor. As for it braking i would worry too much if your around the service time, just make it a point to remember to have it done.

(i went 200k on mine)
