quick question - Cambelt change intereval 90bhp HDi

Post by 406silverhdi »

hello chaps

Exactly a year ago i changed my cambelt when the car was on 101 thousand, a year later it is on 146k, what is the scheduled cambelt change and what do you guys reccomend.

I mainly (90% of the time) drive on motorways, on the inside lane doing 55-60 (cant be bothered racing about anymore and it does wonders for my fuel consumption, i assume this style of driving is better for general wear and tear

its and X Reg year 2000 90BHP HDi

Oil changed every 6k

Thanks!

Pretty sure the most common answer to this question is 72,000 - that's what I've read on here & what Haynes says.
(On my previous Xsara HDi 90, the recommendation was 100,000!).
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)
