    50k to 60k miles is standard for most cars, especially on a diesel. 40k for most of the french makes. or every five years if you dont complete this mileage, as rubber is a perishable material.

    between every 40,000 - 60,000 miles. The older the car, you'd be leaning towards every 40k.. Get the water pump done as well.....

    I had it changed 5 years ago this month, about 50K miles ago.
    Time to book it in again.

    Ford ETIS says 200,000km, I think they have revised it downwards.

    They have a chain between the camshafts but a belt for the main drive from the crank.
