depo Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Current mileage is 109 000 miles. There is no paperwork/proof that cambelt has ever been changed. Would cambelt last that long without change? Or is it possible to check if it was changed? Quote
kfk Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 You dont say if its petrol or diesel/engine size: Petrol every 80,000 miles Diesel every 100,000 miles You wont easily see if a belt has been fitted ......if in doubt get it replaced, its cheaper than guessing wrong. Quote
Johndouglas Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 is it possible to check if it was changed? A belt can sometimes look alright when it's fitted on the engine, but it isn't till it's taken off and turned inside out that all the splits at the base of the teeth become apparent. At that stage some of the teeth are ready to be ripped off and the damage is done. If you have doubts about it, change it. At 109K you are on borrowed time. Quote
