Remember TD, 40k/4yrs is the MAXIMUM.  I try to get mine in that little bit earlier, at a time that is convenient to me, rather than worrying and rushing to get done at last minute.

Hey TD, your more than welcome to come down!   Once I have seen mine being done I should be able to get stuck into another, we will also have MarkDTM just down the road in case we hit trouble!

I have to agree with TheBoy on your cambelt, it should all be done at the same time. Looking at those numbers your actual belt has done 44k!!

Get on the phone to Autovaux and get them ordered, £101 for belt kit &, pump. £134 from Vaux direct.

I am getting my aux belt done too, at only £15 worth doing!

Cheers m8  

But if i was to believe lying vx dealer.....they change the belt and tensioner when they do any work on water pump....tensioner ...so it should be a few k shy of doing....but you could be right...its overdue....if they lied yet again to me   all that work was warranty so i have no actual proof...like reciepts  

[tunnie]

i would not be surprised if they re-used the same belt!

Its worth doing since your Omega is your job and need it for your business!  Its not worth risking the engine over £100

I just had to had veccyB aux belt done as it snapped it   .....thought easy job...cost me about £14 for belt.....was i ever wrong   .....ended up taking to my local garage.....you have to take off engine mounting to fit it   ....no wonder i couldnt work it out how to fit it
