Hi,
Would just like some advice on cambelt change on my van.
It was changed on 28/01/11 on a mileage of 196k on my service last Friday they gave me an advisory that it should be changed again as i am now on 298k and they said it should be changed every 55k.
Now since it was changed 20 months ago i have had van serviced 6 times and this was 1st advisory yet they said it needs changing every 55k.
Does the cambelt need changing every 55k or is it based on time aswell like spark plugs eg. 4 years or 50k which ever comes first ?
What would your opinion be as i dont want to waste money having the cambelt changed every 6 to 8 months based on mileage if it will last 4 years or so regardless of mileage, but on the other hand i dont want to trash engine for not doing it.
All advice welcome.
Thanks
