02 Fiat Doblo 1.9 JTD ELX - Cambelt Interval?

Can anyone tell me when the cambelt is due on a 2002 Fiat Doblo 1.9 JTD ELX? Parkers says it's a 100bhp model. Also, what kinda price should I expect the belt change to cost - and what parts aside from the belt are required/recommended, such as tensioners, rollers, waterpump etc?

I'd be very grateful if anyone knew for sure as, I'd look in the manual but it's a second hand car we're looking at because it has a wheelchair ramp conversion already done, so I don't have access to the manual yet. I could ring him to check the book for me on Monday, but we're looking at another as well, so it may well be a factor in which we choose, if it has a grands worth of belt change to do once we got it home or something.

It's done 35k miles now and is about 6 years old - my first thought was that it could be over the interval if it was 5 years, cos that seems quite common, but having had my Google mojo completely fail me, I throw myself open to the group!

35k. Should take 2 hours to replace the belt, so you're looking at around £60 labour from most independents.

I've got a 53 plater..

Arghh, just spotted the "JTD" bit... 2.2 hours in the book so slightly more.

Fiat recommend Check and replacement if necessary every 36000 miles and replacement every 72000 miles or 5 years.

Cheers Pete :-) Mum hasn't decided if she wants it yet, mainly because, I dunno if I'll really be up to it. So, we'll see. It up for £3,990 by the way, as I say, 2002 02, 35k miles, 1.9 JTD ELX Doblo, with all the windows and stuff (I think there is a van version too?) and the disabled ramp conversion in the back. Mum said it was in good nick, and drove well. The conversion in the back cost £6k as well, and it seems to be the only suitable available I can find.

Whatcha think to the price? He's offered us £2k for our Arosa, 1.0 S, 03 plate, 50k, due a service and only partial history, and needs £100 worth of exhaust. It's in nice nick when it's cleaned up though - which it never is cos it carries Abby (18month old Golden Retriever) to the beach and back most days hehe.

Any thoughts? It's due a service, and he's agreed to throw that in, and it has 10 months MOT. We haven't asked about the cambelt yet though, because I didn't know if it needed it till now!

Cheers :-)

It'll do the job. Mine's a van. Not quick, but it's a van...

Doblo is more useful than the Arosa to you.

Tell him to throw a belt at it, give it a service and take the thing. They aren't bad vans, and well, you need to get about.

Nay worries. Had any pizza yet?

If it's in good nick then that's not bad. At the end of the day the conversion kit isn't cheap & as you really need it you're onto a bit of a winner.
