Having lots of trouble finding out exactly when I should get my cambelt changed. I have a Leon Mk2 FR TDI. The service books hints at 120,000km so that would be 80,000 miles which I have now. But it also mentions that type of engine at that point which is not the same as mine. Anyone else...

Hi. I've recently bought a Seat Alhambra (2.0 Petrol 1997). There was not a service history with the car and so I am planning to do the cambelt and tensioner along with the waterpump(very noisy) to be on the safe side. I have changed several cambelts in the past, and the crank pulley bolts...

Hi all I am going to get my cam belt changed in the next few weeks (64k on the clock, 2005 model). Should I get the water pump done as well? I have heard that the water pump is pretty much bullet proof and I shouldn't change it unless I have to. What do you think?

Waterpump and cambelt kit? Car has done 107k and the service history says it had the belt done at 70k. It's a PD130 sport. Thanks
