When I had a 2.2 mig car died only a few days after I bought it.
Cambelt flew of (due to pump), I did change everything except the pump (actually mechanic did)
The pump broke and...
The engine was eventualy rebuilt.
Cambelts used were contitech I believe and the waterpump was some cheap replacement part
Never had issues again but next time everything was done at 40k miles

Do you keep to the 4 years or 40K depending which one comes first or just keep to the 40K?
Glad you got it sorted and never scraped it it.  :y

The specification is whichever comes first. I would be strict about the mileage, but a few months late wouldn't worry me.
