Mitsubishi Carisma GDI -Timing belt

[Quasii49]

When should I get this replaced? How much should it cost?
I'd appreciate some help here!

If its the same 1.8 gdi that is in the volvo then its 60,000 ml. Its also a pain in the arse belt to do.

( According to "Autodata ) Belt should be replaced every 54,000 miles. It takes about 2&1/2 hours and requires special tools (3). It is an "interference" engine which will probably result in damage if the belt snaps. As Raydar says, it does look a pain, without the proper tools and facilities.
