Here is another long term timing belt story. The 60k factory change interval seems more and more like a bunch of hogwash to me. Has anyone ever had a timing belt break on a V6?

However, I gotta admit. 250k mi with 15 years is way longer than I would ever go. What I am really surprised at is that his pulleys have not failed yet.
