It should be changed every 60,000 miles. I am not sure if it is an interference engine or not.
It has a timing chain. It never needs be changed.
Ive a Volvo v40 diesel 1.9 [Renault engine] could you tell me when the cambelt needs changing?
the warning lights comes on indicating that the timing belt needs to be changed. even once the timing belt is changed, the warning light will stay on until is it reset.
A cam belt or timing belt on a Peugeot 306 GTI only needs to be changed if it breaks or shows signs of wear. Changing the cam belt on a vehicle is not part of the regular maintenance. It only needs to be inspected once a year unless problems arise.
Timing chains usually do not need to be changed until an engine needs to be overhauled. You may need to change it if it makes a weird noise, other than that you should be fine.
Hi, what year is it? I have a Mk6 (2002-08) Diesel Fiesta, and the Cambelt needs doing every 10 years, but my Haynes manual recommends changing it every 5 years if it is subjected to stop-starting city traffic or short journeys. I think the petrol version is the same to the best of my memory, if you have the Mk6.5 or the Mk7, then it won't be old enough to need it yet, but otherwise you might want to stick to the recommendation and get the cambelt fitted at its next service. When the Cambelt goes, the engines timings mess up and it explodes, so its a write off, so it really isn't a great idea to gamble. I hope that helps!
You will have no symptoms that it needs to be changed. Also looking at it will not tell you whether it needs to be changed or not as it may look good and be ready to break. For this reason timing belts are required to be changed at a set mileage or years interval. Referred to your owners manual as to the maintenance schedule on the timing belt. It varies with manufacturer from 60,000 miles 110,000 miles.
Originally it was due to be approx 50k miles but due to them snapping and damaging the engine Renault then changed the advisory to every 36k miles. Get the timing belt kit as well so it will be under warranty.
A 2008 Ford Focus has a timing belt. According to the owners manual, the timing belt needs changed after 100,000 miles.
Timing belts are changed at a set mileage which is listed in your owners manual. The belt may look good and be ready to break. Change it when that manufacture tells you to change it.
The cam belt in a Fiesta LX 1.2 is not a part that needs to be changed at any certain time. It should be inspected every 100,000 miles and changed only if it shows signs of wear or breaks.
if its the 3.5litre v6 no its a belt and needs to be changed every 90000klms
