Cam belt should be changed at every 60k so if thats been done then the next one will be at 120k

In the service book it states that the cambelt should be 'checked' at 60k and changed if required, and then checked etc every 10k. If it hasn't been changed before, it should then be changed at 120k.

I don't know many people who would leave a cambelt for 120k before changing it..... most get them done @ 60k.

I'd look at at least getting yours checked asap, if not changed
