Maddersc5 Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 I have a 04 plate C5 diesel its the 2.0 110bhp model , when should the cam belt be changed ??? Quote
Johndouglas Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 According to Autodata every 100K miles or ten years - but 80K in adverse conditions. Personally my choice would be 80K Quote
Derek C5 Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 Hi everyone I have just bought a C5 VTX+ 1.6 HDi with 91,000 on the clock. The handbook says to change the cam belt at 150,000 but all other engines it has 100,000. Can anyone confirm this or is it a typo in the hand book? Derek Quote
coastline taxis Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 most 1.6 hdi say 140 to 160k before you change the belt. maybe we are just to set in our ways but i certinatley wouldnt let any engine go over a 100k without a belt change. remember these arnt a safe engine and valve damage will happen. but haven said that they spend millions developing these engines and they do no what there talking about so i guess its down to personal choice. Make sure you drain and flush your oil reguly or thesse engines will eat the turbos Quote
