Regardless of what type of motor is present in your car, a failure in the timing belt will cause the engine to suddenly stop or if installed incorrectly could cause a lack in power and performance. Of course, checking to see when your timing belt was last changed is not always the easiest task either. Since you purchased your car used, there may be a sticker located under the hood of your car that gives the mileage of the last change. If you cannot find this sticker, than it may be better to have the belt changed, just to be on the safe side. If you have the owners manual for your vehicle, it should detail when the belt should be changed. Good luck!
