My missus' car is that exact spec, and it sure does have a cambelt!

I thought it had a belt as well, who said it has a chain?

[hippo]

what engine model is it ?

The 1.9 CDTi's (which is a Fiat derived engine, btw) have a cambelt.

It was only the older 2.0 and 2.2 diesel engines that had chains, in the diesel range of engines.

Official change is:

Z19DT (the 8 valve engine)
04MY 6 yrs or 80,000 miles (whichever is soonest)
05MY 10 yrs or 100,000 miles (whichever is soonest)


Z19DTH (the 16 valve engine)
10 yrs or 100,000 miles (whichever is soonest)

But it's recommended to change the belt (and waterpump) way before that as the water pump has a tendancy to prematurely fail and take the belt with it.

According to my service book my car (2004 model cdti 16v) is 8 years or 80k whichever occurs first.

And mine has a belt too

It's a 1.9 cdti 150 sri facelift

All 1.9CDTI's are belts for the timing, and personally I wouldn't let it go past 60k.

Bought mine with 86k on only to find it hadn't been done. Told the dealer that according to the service book it states 80k not the 100k they told me and they've posted one out to me. Getting it done next Weds along with the water pump. The joys of working at a garage, timing belt and water pump for £60! Winner!
