Guys I need a quick answer on this, 2002, 307, 2.0Hdi, 44k on the clock. I say the cambelt should have been done after 5 years am I correct???

Many many years ago I used to own a Vauxhall Viva HB with a OHC engine. This was the first car I had seen that was belt driven. In those days I think the belt had to be changed every 40,000 miles or something ridiculous. Things have thankfully improved. Chains can wear or stretch too.

Yeah exactly that, was an one of the families cars and was needed sharpish so it ended up at dealers, then found out it's a common one on them. Put me off Nissan there and then!

Any new car i get usually gets a full service and timing bits replaced regardless.
:cool: is easier to replace them at home than on a motorway! That plus being a mechanic and paying for breakdown cover doesn't sit well although even a car in top shape can still chuck its dummy out if it wants to.
:nod:
1 thing that is obvious is that newer cars do need a lot more attention which apart from performing better are probably in the grand scheme of dealers getting more money out of us.
Yes i said it lol.
