dilema URGENT

[Mark]

cars on 64000 had cam belt change on 47000 but that was near on 5 years ago, change it or not. this depends if i buy the car TOMORA or NOT

need quick reply please

 

[morgan349]

Not

itll be fine. Id say they get far more wear from use rather than weathering over time...

just my opinion though...

but its £200 for piece of mind I guess....

 

[iPap]

Always worth doing!

 

[Mark]

come on guys help me out quick tiem



reanault rekon 72000 or 5 Years

Change it, time is as much a factor as use.

The cambelt will deteriorate over time, get it done or risk a hefty garage bill!

 

[Illusion]

Change it mate, or youll be payin and arm and a leg if it snaps, and thats not a nice thing

 

[os1so]

Change it and you know then you will have at lest five years trouble free.

 

[diamond geezer]

if you are buying from garage, get them to do it or no deal, if a private sale, knock them down the money it will take to get new one fitted.

once every five years or 72,000 miles, get it done i would..

hange it. Just search on here for cambelt snapped in title and you will see a few Willy owners have suffered through thinking they could wait till 72k. Quite a few Willy owners dont use their car everyday so milage is low but still snapped theirs, time is the factor. If in doubt get it changed. BB did mine and they also found the water pump was corroded at same time. Clutch may also be a possibility at same time too. Fair enough its a big bill but 5 years piece of mind is worth it.

get it done, just did mine, was 8 years only, had only done 20k miles, but i got it done, cost me £130 []

 

[Matty]

Another thing mate, 17k miles in five years seems bloody low. Check its not been clocked. Old MOT certificates should prove.

 

[Mark]

it all checks out matty, jsut stupid cambelts lol ohwell just get it done i suppose cheers for advice guys
