Lowest Mileage to have a Cambelt Service ?



  BMW F21 125d
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:

Well, you wont be.. mines on 25k, five years old in January and im just waiting to be booked in for both belts :)
 
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.
 
  WANTED Arctic 182
My car is on 32000 miles but isn't 5 years old until next May. Thinking of getting both belts done soonish though.
 
  Evo
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.
 
  It's A Reno
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. :eek:

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..

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


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!:cool:

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


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 ;)
