[tollan172]

just wondering wat milage the cambelt gets changed

 

[cat171]

Apart from it being in almost every 172 cambelt related thread.

It's 5 years or 72k which ever comes first.

thanx mate

most people on here will recommend changing it before 72k miles though

got mine done on 48k as part of the deal when buying it. around 50k or 5 years is more realistics as my mates S reg snapped its cam belt on around 55k causing a HELL of alot of damage.
