NO CHAIN - Has two belts , one wet belt and one dry belt ..anything after 2007 has this set up.
wetbelt, (type in "Alan Howatt wetbelt" on youtube) if its not been changed ..i say change it now for peace of mind.
I think even 100,000 is too long.
Having said that there are plenty about with 130,000 plus ( I know because i have a mate who keeps buying them to sell them on ) ..they are on borrowed time! so is he if he keep buying, he's rolling the dice ..I keep telling him that, like talking to a brick wall !
Wetbelt is a big job -if you cant do it yourself though, its going to be an £800+ job minimum.
i think the dry one should be changed at between 60,000 and 80,000 - quick job and easily DIY.
You also have possible injector and pump failure at anything after 120,000. that will cost £1200+ minimum
all the best...mark
