Tin Man Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Hello All, I am new to this forum and bid you all 'Hello'. My van, a Burstner Aviano on a Fiat Ducato base, is just over 4 years old with 15000 miles completed. It is due for annual service this November. I'm considering having the cambelt replaced as well. Am I being too cautious? All comments greatfully received. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebishbus Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Hi . Welcome to the Forum. Personally not at that low mileage, I would wait at least another 12 months. Brian B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Welcome to the madhouse John - hope you are well oiled to stop your joints from creaking! Cambelts are also a time related service item and if the handbook says 4 years OR mileage I personally would opt for peace of mind and have it changed. It is purely personal and many don't bother and a lot depends on where you are if it breaks as to how difficult and expensive recovery and repair might be. Then again it may well never break? Question is - do ya feel lucky!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tin Man Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 Thank you both. I've checked the handbook and it states every 5 years so I'll change it then. Cheers now, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
