Peugeot 306 LXTD Cambelt R Reg

How long is a piece of string?

It is entirely dependent on the type of driving you do.

I am unaware of belts generally only lasting `70K`. The recommended changed interval is 72K (or 35K with heavy use driving). 50K would suggest serious taxi abuse.

My local Pug dealer has quite a lot of confidence in a TD cambelt with motorway driving and off the record suggested it might well last for way over the 72K or 144K in my case - but obviously suggested I change it.

If you can afford to change it - change it. The financial implication of it failing might well make your car a right-off.

Hi,

It depends of use and driving (see the recommended servicing intervals for classic or heavy servicing, in your owner's book), usually a cambelt on a XUD is given for 72k miles (120,000 km) or 5 years. Many mechanics here recommend a change at 100,000km (62k miles).
