Are the timming belts hard to replace?

 

not really, but its harder than an oil change http://www.audiworld.com/tech/eng35.shtml

and did you change the drain plug washer when you changed the oil? cause they are designed to deform once tightened to create a perfect seal, so you gotta change them out everytime.



if you didn't you might have a slow drip leak from the drain plug

 

if you are lost under a hood then yes, if you got minor skills then not too bad... time consuming either way

 

thats why they are reffered to as crush-rings... one time use

 

yes i did change those plugs and i might change them myself to save some money i myself am a minor under the hood so im ahave help from a few friends that knw more about it thanks for all your help

 

timing belt is a great diy to get better aquainted with your motor and working on it, i suggest giving it a try with a friend that can steer you in the right direction.

 

cool thanks for you help,
