timing belt / maintenance minder / "algorithm"?
Hello All,
I have a '10 TL w/Tech, 2WD, 99k miles.
It's been a superb car - virtually no complaints. None of the common problems I see described.
I have not changed the timing belt, and based on what I see on this site I suspect there will be a strong recommendation to do it now.
But that's not really my question. What I want to know is this.
According to the Repair Manual, Maintenance #4 says replace the timing belt.
What triggers this #4 on this car? Mileage alone? (What mileage?) Time? Sensing of driving habits and conditions? Some combination of the above? Something else?
I might not wait until I see #4 light up my dash, but I am curious - when will I see it? How does my car "decide"?
Thanks!
