VRS - Cambelt Interval?

Featured Replies

I have just phoned around three dealers for a 60,000 miles service and queried when the Cambelt should be replaced. 2 dealers said 80,000 miles or 4 years and 1 said 60,000 miles or 4 years.

My car isn't 4 years old yet.

I have just checked my service manual. It says 75,000 miles!

Which do I believe?

It's been reduced, due to a number of 'premature' failures. It's now 60,000 miles or 4 years, regardless of what it says in your particular service booklet...

HTH

I'd go with the latter, who obviously knows the score ! :)

It s also to do with your chassis number (age of car - maunfacure date) as I believe it changes...

I think earlier cars are 60000 and later are 80000. Either way peace of mind got mine done at 60000...

Had to tell the dealer this info though... (!)

Never a good thing that ! :mad:

My dealer is the same, they assure me its 80,000 but I'm going to do get it done sooner - I'm at 64,500 now :eek:

Technically for thr ASZ and BLT it is 80k. But I would do it at 60k to be safe.

mine was an 80k interval... and I caned it to death for 80k and mine never broke ;) ... its 90k on the fiat I have now! :eek:

but as lummox says, if you have doubt, there's no reason not to do it earlier....

As the old saying goes, "If in doubt, whip it out".
