Service Intervals on the Mk2 V6 and the 197

[*Badger*]

Are they the same as the 182 ? I.e Cambelt/Aux at 5 years??

Pondering the possibilitys of trading in the 182 just in time to miss the service (did the same with my 172), but dont want to get something in the same position!

197 has the same intervals, but with different things... For instance, by the book, air filter elements are every 24k, instead of 12k on a 172....... but spark plugs are every 36k, not 72k.... bloody dear too!

Most V6 have had the belts done now due to age, luckily most who own them are a bit more caring with them, as opposed to the 1*2 which anyone can get a hold of

Cambelt due at 5 years on the 197, or just 72k ?

For instance, my 182 has 25k on it, but is coming upto 5 years, so has to have the cambelt.

Be 5 yrs 72k

The 5 year is due to the rubber degrading, not so much use if you get me.
