Car Repairs and Servicing

When should the cambelt be renewed?

There’s not a standard change interval for cambelts.

  • Depending on the model and the manufacturer, the recommended interval can be anywhere between 30,000 miles and 100,000 miles. There will often be a time-based interval specified too e.g. 60,000 miles or five years, whichever is the sooner.
  • Sometimes the manufacturer will revise the recommended interval during the life of the vehicle so it’s best to check with a franchise dealer as they will have the most up-to-date information. They will need to know the make, model, engine number and model year.
  • In most cases cambelt failure results in serious damage to many other components in the engine – a major rebuild or even replacement engine will be required!

It does no harm to renew the belt early. If you buy a used car it’s wise to get the belt renewed if you are in any doubt that it has been renewed at the appropriate time.

Mobile Tyres Portsmouth came to my workplace and replaced the tyres, which was excellent. Louis was professional, highly efficient and helpful. The work was carried out to a very high standard. I would be more than happy to use them again.

Excellent response raised a request to replace by front brakes & tyres at 6 am on a Saturday and job done by mid-day and I was back on road. I would definitely recommend Mobile Tyres Portsmouth. The good news is that they come to you.
