Is it possible someone could tell me the lifespan of a cambelt for a R Reg Peugeot 306 TD.I'm not 100% sure but someone had told me that they last for about 70K,but I think more likely that 50K is the real figure.
Regards Steve

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,
70 or 72K miles are almost identical values.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).
