Service Intervals/ Timing Belt Intervals

SouperComputer · 17-01-2011 11:01PM

FAO peoples with cars with timing chains:

Chains can stretch and tensioners can fail, especially if the car has had some overly extended oil change intervals. If you have a chain, dont just assume "ah sure she'll be grand like". Be sure to check the chain, tensioners and associated stuff in there if you have an older car or one with higher mileage.

Keep in mind, when a car maker says "lifetime" about anything, at best they mean the lifetime of the original factory warranty.

So, I'll start with the most common ones I see, and if anyone has a specific car they'd like to check, just ask.

There's a few of em, but as i said, if anyone has a specific car they want to know about, just ask!
Hope this helps someone out.

I know that engine is rated until 160,000km or 5 years in a Ford, not sure what Peugeot say off the top of my head.

Cold weather

mileage had dropped prior to the cold spell but may well have contributed to some of it!
Cheers for the reply!

Hi I'm looking at a 2009 passat 2.0 tdi CR 110 it has 82k miles with no belt change. Seller seems to think that it doesn't need done before 120k but I always thought it was 60k....any info would be greatly appreciated!!
