Cam belt. 60.000 then what ??..

Ros3 · 4th March 2011, 20:34

Hi.
Ok there's a lot of talk about the cam belt needing changed at 60.000 miles. But here's the thing. Is that every 60.000. I have a 2.0 ltr V6 with 47.000 on the clock and will get the belt done at 60.000. But will i then need to get it done again at 120.000 mile's. I fully intend to keep the car (barring total write off accident's) for the life of the vehicle. So will i have this expence to pay out more than once ??...

cambelt change should be done at 90k or six years,which comes first.

Every six years or 60,000 mile.

Any increase on 60K?
Yes, the MGR service schedule for cam belts is 90k miles or every 6 years (WOF).

Here's the full shebang.

Thanks for the list, I'll save it as well. Just realised I needed to change my gearbox oil.
