stobbie Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Today I did a cambelt change on my 110 300TDI. Although the guy I bought the car off said it had been done recently, I did have a bad feeling about the belt. I have to drive to Switserland with a trailer this Tuesday, so I wanted to be sure. This is what I found: There where at least ten of these, and this was one of the least damaged parts... I don't know if I would have made it to Switserland with this....

Night Train Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I always change my 60,000 mile timing belt at 50,000 miles max of if there is any reason to have to tamper with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
