Just looking for some advise. I was checking my oil levels and having a scan over the engine bay and I seen the timing belt.

Does this look like it's stretched / slipping of do some belts not cover the entire width of the sprocket?

Bit worried that i may need a new one however it was previously changed at 86k miles which was only 27k miles ago.

Something doesn't look right, looks too narrow - and teeth are too small.
edit# the belt should be 25mm wide.

This is my original timing belt before I changed it - no gaps!
