Default When should a timing belt be changed on a '99 Breeze 2.4L?

Our online etooboxpro says 60,000 miles, but my mechanic said he
checked and it's 100k.

so, who is right???

Can I just do a visual on the belt and if it looks good just keep
going???

TIA

What does the owner's manual say on the severe service schedule?

Depends on what the consequences of a failed belt are.

My book says 102,000 for severe service and 105,000 for normal.

You can look all you like. A good belt will look just like a bad one,
unless there is a unique problem.

The 100,000 service came about because California law requires it. No
engineering changes. Same parts. I you drive like granny and your
engine is a freewheeler, you should be ok.
