Cam Belts?

[RollinRanch]

This may be a daft question but will my new '04 MWB TDCI T350 2.4 chassis base transit have a cam belt? I ask because the seller says it 'hasnt been changed' (127k miles) and I remember my old Mk5 had a chain instead of a belt which I think didn't need changing....

I have to drive it back from Glasgow to York soon and the thought of it busting up on me is giving me the jitters!

Ah, it's good to be back in the transit world! Was gutted when the headgasket on my old one went....

Mk5 would have been a belt, all mk6's are chain driven

if it was DEFO mk5 then it DEFO wasnt chain driven

Lol, it really was though, why would I lie?

[75psT330lwb]

cos i think your confusing the mk5 with the mk6 and u really mean mk6 and mk7

[RollinRanch]

smiley fronts are mk5s right?

[75psT330lwb]

yes. and as far as i am aware there were no chain driven mk5's. i'll stand corrected if im wrong.

Well here's my thread about it when I first discovered the fact, it's 5yrs old so a pretty elaborate joke to play on you! viewtopic.php?f=4&t=70743&p=600346#p600346
