My Father replaced this yesterday.
This engine was running fine, only symptom was an intermittent noise from around the belt area.

I cannot believe how it still ran and didn't self destruct.
Car has around 50,000miles (genuine) but is 10 years old.
It's a Kia something or other...
That is really weird wear!Quote:

intervals very wary on car make and engine ,some of them are for only 40k and not miles or km !! and only up to 4 years if not mileage
Only time I have seen missing teeth was due to oil leak, but that belt is dry.
I am amazed it ran ok
Saw a few alfa romeos like that... but that was when I was pulling the head off them to replace the valves ha. Don't know how that car was running.
Wow that's bad your luck you got it before it done harm
Looks like the belt currently on use on my Zafira. Lol
