On my 2013 500 Pop when should my timing belt be changed? The owner's manual says to call the dealer which said it's only three years old, it's probably not due but bring it down for an inspection. The internet shows a number of sites mostly from Europe showing anywhere from 36,000 miles to 152,000. She's nearing 100k now and I am thinking it's got to be close but how can there not be anything clear online or in the manual?
Go to "mytimingbelt.com" They say 72,000 fwiw
Is it an interference engine? Yes, now. No, when the old one goes. 
It's a Fiat. Doesn't that mean it's measured in weeks? 
How weird. You'd think that kind of info would be in the manual. It's pretty important.

That IS weird. FWIW, our Subaru recommends 110K intervals. I changed it at 120K. I'm a rebel.

This.
Old 124 spiders were 20k.
Not that it is pertains to your question.

I saw that too. Both dealers I called said that was nonsense and one said they've inspected a few but not replaced any yet. The more I think about it 100k is about as far as I'm comfortable with so I guess I'll be changing it in the near future.
I found a Continental chart that doesn't show the 1.4 but claims 120,000 km for all of the current fiat engines on the chart, so I'd guess 75k miles miles/5 yr (whichever comes first).
