Timing belt replacement.

Hello guys just wondered what the changing intervals are for a 99 c70 t5 cambelt change and are any other parts recomended changing at the same time.
Thanks,
Tony.

Thanks for the tip, and I'll mention that when I take it in. Bracing myself for a sizeable bill, with a service/cambelt and the PCV all being done.

Exactly. I've not used it since I drove it Home on Saturday, as I want the work doing before I use it more regularly.

dont blame you mate, i know the timing belt is well over due on my XLT but hoping it lasts long enough for me to put the 2.4t in hehe
