I replaced the timing belt and waterpump on my 2,5d srx d4d about 100k kilos ago.I am not certain whether I reset the timing belt replace warning indicator which comes up on the dash and if I did, I can't recall how to reset the warning light.
How do I go about it and also what is the correct replacement interval for replacing the timing belt in kms ?

Hi Tony, how did you do it? I think there might be some posts on this in the past, but if anyone searches in the future and comes across this thread, it would be handy for them to get the info here. Thanks.

Re: Timing belt indicator warning light reset
I did it just last week. The belt, tensioner and pulley replacement interval is every 150 000 ks. The procedure is as follows:
1. Make sure the meter is set to ODO
2. Turn off the ignition
3. Press and hold the trip reset button and turn on the ignition whilst holding the button
4. Hold the button for about 5 to 10 seconds and release
5. The number 15 will appear on the display. It would appear that this is the default value.
6. Press and hold the button until the ODO display appears again.
7. The Timing Belt light will go off if you did it correctly.
Some guys say you should press the button 15 times until 15 appears again but I found that once you access this function 15 appears by default an then it continues counting up to twenty for every press of the button. Then it starts at 1 again. This means you need to keep on pressing the button until 15 appears again. Every 1 represents 10 000 kilometers.
