FYI - Another item to add when you have the timing belt changed.
Had the timing belt change completed by a local shop with good ratings. At the same time I did all the other things one should do when you change the timing belt - water pump, other belts, etc. I mentioned to the shop I'm interested in preventative maint. Less than 500 miles later the alternator bearing siezed, and took out the alternator. When I had the car back at the same shop they mentioned encountering this a few times - I felt like hitting the guy - why didn't they mention it to me when I had all the other work done?
