The recommended mileage for a timing belt replacement on a 2005 Chevrolet Aveo varies slightly depending on the engine and driving conditions, but it's generally
around 60,000 to 100,000 miles. However,
it's crucial to consult your owner's manual. This manual will provide the precise interval recommended by Chevrolet for your specific Aveo model and engine. Ignoring the recommended interval can lead to catastrophic engine failure.
Don't rely solely on mileage. Age is also a factor. Even if you haven't reached the mileage interval, it's a good idea to have the timing belt inspected every 60,000 miles or so, especially if the car is older. Cracking or wear can occur regardless of mileage.
