I really wonder how much abuse one of these belts can take before they fail?
I replaced the belt on my E85 at 150,000 miles and it looked new. Current car is 10 years old and the belt is perfect. I'll change it next year for good measure but seriously how many belts fail on maintained motors? Would it be better to simple install a new belt every decade or so?
I understand one one BMW model has an issue with clearance when the motor mounts get old. But that's probably the same thing, replace the mounts.
Just my thoughts…….
