I'm crossing my fingers! The car has been due for a belt change since before I got it. Will be changing it on Friday. Glad I don't have to drive it every day!
In other news, I had a dream about changing the brakes on this car. That was interesting.

Jbob!!! Holy ****!!
I was going to come over and see you last night to show you my Konis...
This is terrible news, I'm really sorry. Will michael work on it? Who did you get to verify it was the tb?
Anyway if there's anything I can do...

what's with all the 944 timing belt failures? so far in the past month or so I've seen like 6 people here with timing belt failures.
what was the milliage ?
I keep on hearing people here say to change the belt every 3 year regardless of milliage. But why does a belt on a honda civic last twice as much or longer?
new cars now recommend replacing the timing belt at around 100,000kms intervals. like the audi 1.8t I think is 100,000 kms recomendation
right now i'm getting paranoid, my belt, rollers and water pump are all 2.5 years old and about 20,000 kms on them.
do I really have to replace my belts in a couple months even with 20,000 kms?

I remember a thread recently from someone who's tb broke while they were cranking the engine and so there was little damage.
Is it possible you got off as lucky jbob?

its been a weird few days
i was also trapped in a lurching elevator for an hour on the 27th floor of my skyscraper on friday,
my best friend broke his humerus in a spiral fracture arm wrestling on saturday
and then i ****ing have a nightmare about my timing belt breaking and it breaks. its only a 3 y/o belt, just had it retensioned
im in shock over it. just the weirdness of the last few days. plus the economy, plus having to work a ton extra for no extra pay
ok, done whining
