it's not an emergency to replace, but it does get on someone's un-initiated nerves because of the noise.
sometimes, the squeaking noise isn't evident. but when rolled without the belt, it makes a low vibrating noise (new ones are almost noiseless).
mine has been giving me signs to have it replaced, for nearly two years now. but as it's just a spare car... heh heh.
it's mahal or mura, depending on one's level of financial comfort. the post-er above gives you a range of cost.
labor is extra, kaya siguro mataas ang estimate ni isuzu golden.
good luck.
