Lowest Mileage to have a Cambelt Service ?

[*Badger*]

Had my 182's Cambelt & Aux Belt Service done today, and with only 26,700 miles on the clock, I wondered if I had the lowest mileage cambelt service done ? So who's car is around 5 years old, with less ?

To the haters, I'm aware cars are meant to be driven, but living 1.5 miles from work doesnt help my cause! :rasp:

mine is an 04 plate with 21000miles but bought it with 15000miles 6 months ago

Depends how old your 182 is. The cambelt may have perished and needed changing anyway.

 

[Addz]

got my vee's done on 26k i think and 5 years old

 

[Fletcher]

I had mine changed on 72k :rasp:

My 51 plate 172 got its second cambelt changed at 32k, since it was coming up to 9 years and it was a bargaining tool when I bought the car, don't really know if it needed it or not but best to get it done.

Gaz just got his 15k 03 plate cup done. Thats got to be in with a shout!

 

[Lewin]

My car is on 32000 miles but isn't 5 years old until next May. Thinking of getting both belts done soonish though.

 

[ben_r1]

My cambelt was changed at 1850 miles, i dont think anyone can beat that 2bh.

Reason: new cams and the engine builder advised me to use a new one.

 

[db]

Did mine at 36k

 

[pip.]

Mine was done at 28k, and is now on 29.5k and it's a 53 plater.

Just realised that my car has done 1500 miles this year.

 

[*Badger*]

My OP was wrong, its actually 25,700 - only doing 5500 miles a year myself.

But BenR1 nips it on mileage, but thats not a genuine service interval change..

as john said my 03 cup just got done last friday 17k miles on the clock.

Lowest mileage on a 172cup? I must have a good shout at that since the vee has beaten me to this one!

 

[stuart1989]

[Steve]

At 13 or 14K on the trophy FOC cause of oil leak

The dilemma is I imagine, do you let the miles rack up or keep them nice and low?

Rack them up, 172's are for driving

I bought it to enjoy it so what ever miles i do, it will be added. Unless I get a nice bonus and can have it as a second car

She will hopefully get her own daily driver soon, then i can finish the 172 off
