Hello,

Yesterday my 2014 Cruze LS, 6sp Manual hit 100,000 miles. Usually I hit this mark under 4 years, but it took 4.5 years this time. Anyway, now everytime I start the car I get a "replace the timing belt" message. I am sure this is recommended and this is something built in, but does anyone know how long the timing belts usually last? My last two chevys I traded in with 130k and had never replaced a timing belt. I would like to defer it until after I get my bonus in September if possible.

When to replace the timing belt? Unfortunately, in most cases, there are no obvious signs the timing belt is near death; it will just break. That's why highly rated auto mechanics recommend replacing it every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. Always check your owner's manual for the manufacturer's recommendations

Good Luck!
