Drive belt query

If by drivebelt you mean what we used to call the fan belt then personally I'd change it when it needs changing not at a set interval. On the Xantia the aux drive belt is checked every 18k miles on the petrol and 12k miles on the diesel. The timing belt is changed every 72k miles or half that distance if you do a lot of stop start driving.

Just goes to show what Iknow about engines.........

I believe its the one that if it goes it will ruin the whole engine.... the cam belt maybe?????

then it goes on mileage and driving style as malc sais.

Thats great help bents, Many thanks

I trust that was a typo, there is no statistical link between sexual preference and Citroen ownership...

If you do get it changed, shop around. Citroen wanted =A3350 for a cambelt change on my Xantia. I got it done for =A3120 by a specialist less than 100 yards down the road from the dealers.
