Change Timing Belt?



Friends - during a trip yesterday, I checked the maintenance schedule 
provided with the owner's manual for my 1990 200T.  It references 
changing the timing belt ONLY for the V-8 series, and makes no 
recommendation for changing the belt on my 5-cyl. turbo.

I drove my '84 5000T to 96K miles on the original belt....never 
thought of replacing it.  (Of course, I was not in this illuminated 
company at the time...)

May I assume that belt changes are not required on this model?
