Title: I was watching a V6 on fleabay
Post by: Darth Loo-knee on 15 March 2010, 19:10:57
and so I asked when the Cambelt etc was done, the reply I got was "Hi cambelt done at 112,000,only needs doing every 80,000 so not needed again till 192,000
Regards"
so I replied saying that its 40,000 miles mate or 4 years whichever happens first... I had this reply..
"I have spoken to Vauxhall, you are wrong don't waste my time or bother bidding"


Another know it all >:(

I'll bet it's only had oil changes every 12,000 as well.

Looks like it may have done a fair bit of towing as well if it is fitted with a tow bar.

I just told him that if VX told him different to 40,000/ 4 years, he should get them to put it in writng that they will take responsibility when the engine goes bang. ::) :)
He must be tearing his hair out by now, loads of messages all saying the same thing. ::)

It went for £1119 with 17 bids. Hope the 'lucky' buyer changes the cambelt & other gubbins ASAP ;)

Anyone wanna start a book on how long before it is BACK on the BAY?
not had car long, timng tensioner gave up the ghost and not got the time or the money to put it right. I should have bought it, and drove it without changing anything and when it popped I would have hounded him to the grave. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Heres the thing... if your average throbber is told by vauxhall that the belt needs changed every 80000 miles and some "internet person" tells you its wrong  and you are selling the car   who would you believe?
