I'm curious too how much you ultimately had to shell out. Must cost an arm and a leg. You must love your Monty. BTW, that's belt, not chain right? If it's chain, you don't have to replace, right?

pwede naman doc. my brother's company service is already at 120k kms. i'm not sure til when will they tempt fate.
but i guess mitsubishi ph is playing it safe lest an unforeseen timing belt snap comes back and bites them in the behind. you know naman how some vehicle owners can become so irrational.Last edited by baludoy; March 10th, 2020 at 09:51 AM.

March 10th, 2020 10:36 AM #99well,
there is something irregular, that belt falling apart even before the scheduled replacement.
my guess is, he got an inferior, counterfeit belt.
it's the reason i go to the casa for vital items like timing belt. for peace of mind, and also the implied warranty.
an extra 5 thousand peso expense.. spread over 120K km (that's over 10 years for me!)... puede na.
years ago,
a colleague's car engine self-destructed, because the newly-replaced casa-replaced belt malfunctioned.
casa answered all the expenses, including towing.
as an aside,
some engines are designed, such that the valves do not get hit by mal-timed pistons, in case the timing belt/chain breaks.
they simply stop running.
my sentra was one such.Last edited by dr. d; March 10th, 2020 at 10:42 AM.

i decided just to keep the rig, the mileage is too high and difficult to find a reasonable buyer. not much of an arm and leg though, just double the cost of a timing belt set. i don't know about chain
hindi naman sa tingin ko
no irregularities sa part ko.

Looks like TGPH silently edited the article and removed the entry for Velocita Motors/Ferrari.
