    Default Hi all, another newbie here!

    Hi Guys, Just thought i would introduce myself...
    Im from Wakefield and drive a 3.2 V6 Elite Auto (Fully Loaded except for heated rear seats and electric front seats)

    Oh....its a 2002 (52) bought last year with only 17,500 miles......now just changed to 30,000, and i love it!!!
    Despite having a gearbox failure at 19,000 miles (£1700 later and all is well).

    Just a quick question....What milage should my cam belt be changed? at not been done yet

    Hi and welcome to the site.

    cambelts are a sticky subject..Your handbook will say 80,000 miles.. But after owning and repairing VX's for years i'll strongly reccomend 40-50,000 miles and a 5 yr max life on the belts...if the belt breaks it'll cost you a whole lot more than the price of a belt and roller kit..
