Guest David Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 I have an Elddis Autostratus on a Boxer 2.5TD 1st reg June 1999 with 20,000 Miles on the clock. Should i get the cam belt changed, any advice would be welcome. Thanks David
Guest Simon B Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 Yes!! Cambelts should be changed every 5 years regardless of mileage. If it breaks the cost of engine repair will be huge.
Guest AlfM Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 A word of warning take heed of the previous message. I was going to have the cam belt changed on my Peugeot 406 at an early milage because it was 6 years old and hadn't got to the 70,000 miles for changing. It went the week before it was due to go in for the work. Difference in price £160 for a cam belt change. £1300 to repair the damage caused when it broke. So I would definately have the belt changed now. It may go on another year or so (Peugeot now recommend changing at 7 years or the mileage whichever comes first), but I can prove they can go before the year point.
