C5 04 Plate Cam Belt Replacement

[RichCliff]

Hi,

 

Can anyone tell me the correct replacement interval for the C5 1.8i LX 04 Plate, please.

I've seen figures of 

120 Months (10 years)

60,000 miles 

120,000 miles

 

I've just gone through 64,000 miles.

 

Thanks

On 2004 petrol engines Citroen recommend every 80000 miles or ten years. And they add the usual about doing it earlier if subjected to severe conditions.

If the cam belt has never been done, if easy to do, I would remove the top cover of the belt and see if it looks ok - I used to do this on our C3 until I eventually replaced the belt.

Thanks....chaps.

It's never been done, i bought the car at 47,500 miles in 2011 and currently only do about 120 miles a week (for work).
