So when i bought my rex it had 192,000 miles on it and now it has around 203,000 miles. I have done all the basic maintenance but I am worried about the timing belt. It is the HF model so it only has two belts, but I do know that when i start it in cold weather and start to drive it, it starts squealing like crazy. I rev up the engine in neutral and it goes away. But i have to do this every time I start it up in cold weather after it has been sitting for a while. Is this a sign of a bad belt? I do not know when the last time the timing belt was done and I do not have the time or know how to do it myself. I would have to go and get this done at a shop. How much do timing belts usually run?
My question is this: from what I have stated is it a bad sign one of my belts is going out or needs adjustment? and worse case scenario what would happen if my timing belt broke? Would my engine be toast?
thanks for all the help.
