4 years or 40k miles, which ever is first. Change the whole lot, including tensioners. Waterpump is cambelt driven, must be replaced too.

Use a cam lock, ensure timing is right at top and bottom  :y

Nice easy job on the 4 pot petrols. Waterpump at same time as tunnie says, which makes it a convenient time to do the coolant as well.

4yrs/40k, whichever comes first, as tunnie says :)
