If it was me i would change it. when done you can reset the warning light quote from another member

Take the front of the dash out (only 6 philips screws - take out the ash tray), unplug the lights, wipers, and the other plugs. Undo the 2 philips which hold the dials in place (one each side), look at the back of the dial on the PCB and you'll see that on the right (if you've flipped over) there's a small philips with an identical hole next to it - just above, undo the screw and screw it into the other hole.
Put back together.
Mine came back on about 3000 miles later, so I swapped back over and it's been fine since. |
Hope this helps

You will have to wait for another member to answer that one. I'm not sure about the 3.1

The light comes operates on a mileage basis, and is not an indication of the condition of the belt. If you are unsure of it's history , for peace of mind I would get it done. As timing belts go it is not a bad one, it depends on your mechanical aptitude, you wouldn't want to get it wrong.
