HI Guys/girls
just bought a 2.0 v6 auto y reg with 34678 mls
the question is should I change the belts or wait till they get to the 60000 mls ?

I would change them,as they're time dependant as well as mileage,so yours are well out of date.Just my opinion of course,peace of mind & all that.I'm sure a better qualified member will advise

Six years ,or 90.000 whichever comes first, about a £500 job, but cheaper than a full engine rebuild if one snaps.

As they were due in 2007, I would get them done and thank my lucky stars that they've not snapped already!
