Hi

Just got over 65k on my V50 now and looking at VADIS there is a belt change detailed at 144k mile on the service schedule but lots of differing opinions as to what it should be. My last Mondeo had a 100k belt change and was fine (but I was nervous when approaching the magic mark) but I can't believe that one should last as long as 144k.

Any answers appreciated, any idea of the book time for such a job - not looking forward to the prices for this one, even at an indy (do my own oil changes 'cos the indies dont; seem much cheaper than the stealers)

cheers

Rich
