Zetec camshaft replacement interval
Good morning all,
Quick question about cambelt replacement interval.
Haynes manual states 60000 mile replacement interval for 1.8 silvertop. No suggestion of years.....
What is the maximum interval do you suggest?
Mine is 5 years driving and 9000 miles (approx).
Thanks in anticipation.
Len.

Cam belt (not camshaft) is I believe 10yrs or 60k.
I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure

With the cost of a replacement engine vs a cambelt kit I would not push it to the interval.

I'd have thought 5 years tops
For the cost of a kit, is it worth the risk?

I was thinking along those lines, but just wanted some second opinions.
Thanks.
