Title: timing belt miles
Post by: rockhound on 05 March 2008, 22:21:18

Hi everyone,

Just been looking at the autodata cd i had from a friend and it says that the timing belt and tensioners has to be changed every 80,000 miles,

I have met someone else that said this Autodata CD says you don't need to change your Tensioners just the Belt :o
