The first source gives the change intervals for most vehicles, and whether the engine will be damaged severely by timing belt failure (marked by %26quot;*%26quot;) and whether the water pump is driven by the timing belt (marked by %26quot;#%26quot;), meaning the water pump should be changed when the timing belt is changed. Your owner's manual should have the official interval for your car.
