Cam belt

[JRN]

Hi I have a 1.6 air dream diesel with a mileage of 102000 miles on a 61 plate. Can anyone tell me when I need a cam belt change?:ds3:

Off the top of my head I recall reading either 10 years or 140,000 miles, whichever comes first but I can't double check as the handbook is in the car at the moment....

If it's been serviced by Citroen dealers I'd have thought they would tell you when it was due

[Sparky ds3]

Wow thats a lot of miles 😃

[lfcrule1972]

It might not be right mate I just looked online and found a lease car site saying that mileage as well but now I'm doubting myself, normally 100k miles is the norm isn't it ?

Tbh 100k is an awful lot. I'd prefer to stick to 72k/5 years rule. No harm in doing it early IMO

Ok, I just looked at the Maintenance and Warranty Guide in the handbook folder (I know, get me ) and on P15 it states that the timing belts should be changed on all engines at 10 years or 110,000 or 112,500 miles !! :confused:

So there you have it, straight from Citroen Anyone not clear on that ???

Yea...is it a belt or a chain

Belt or chain on a diesel lfc? I know what a THP is :cool:

[lfcrule1972]

Diesel is a belt and THP is a chain, I remember reading about the timing chain slippages etc on Monkeynuts THP

[Chris_Blue]

Didnt know diesel was a belt

[lfcrule1972]

I think I asked the dealer when I got the first one, it's possible I misheard....

Do not doubt yourself lfc, stand firm!

by the way your right

[lfcrule1972]
