Question

when should the cam belt be changed

its a 2000 model with 35,678 mile

many thanks

Answer 1

80 000 miles

Answer 2

It depends on use. That is quite low milege. You will hear it squeeking when it needs replacing. And a garage will tell you when it is services. I expect it would be around 40,000 miles or quite soon.

Answer 3

The first answer you got (80K) sounds just about right. The belt should last somewhere around 75K or so.

Answer 4

me personnally ever car a buy i fit a cam belt...regardless of how many miles its done,even if the last owner said its been changed...better safe than sorry.

Answer 5

My god, it must be Monday.

The correct interval is 50,000 miles or 5 years.

And cambelts don't start squeaking when they're about to go.

And further to a post earlier today, don't spray belts with WD40 if they make a noise (that's the third time in two days I've seen that one!)
