This was done in 2011,the car is now at nearly 96k
When is it due next?
When is it due next?
72k or 5 years. Its fairly simple to work out.
No I'm totally blonde and panic if I think it's gonna go boom....
Dephaser is not a serviceable item, it's never "due"
Ok so it was last done 2011, 77k now nearly 96k,
I'm guessing every 5 years
So I have a couple of years before I panic for all this?
Ok, I'm unsure when the Cambelt was done, guessing at 77k...
No air con...
The receipt states supplied and fitted timing belt.... At 77k
so you have done 19K miles, you have another 13K miles you can do before the aux belt needs to be done (provided it was done at the same time as the cambelt) and 53K miles before the cambelt needs to be done. Or if you dont do those miles by the year 2016, then you will need to get them done then regardless of millage. the dephaser never need to be done unless it has gotten noisy (ie. sound like a proper old diesel taxi), but this wont happen if you change the engine oil every 10K or so. even if it does get noisy, it wont brake. There is yet to be a single dephaser unit that has imploded and caused damage iirc.
now stop panicking and post some picture's of your boobs to say thankyou![]()
Flol...
Cheers...
I've only had the car since aug...
Well that's saved me some money...![]()
It only says timing belt on the receipt...
So you recommend aux belt to be done?
just make sure you have a receipt for the full 'aux belt kit' being replaced at or around 77K, else I would recommend getting that done just to be on the safe side as it will take out the cambelt if it fails. its much cheaper than cambelt/dephaser etc.
Just the belt, no air con = no kit.
don't you still need the tensioner? (not sure if theses are not used as well)
The only reason why people panic about the dephaser pulley is it involves a full expensive cam belt job if it starts to go so most replace at cambelt time purely for future peace of mind.
I got 120k out of mine also.
