Does anyone know the cambelt change interval for a 2.5TD (BMW engine i believe?) as i am looking at one at the moment and just wondered what the change interval was.

Cheers and thanks in advance

change it when you can find it is the general rule
it aint got one its a chain!!!!

As Omegatoy says, its a chain, so no specified interval.

With good oil servicing, these should last the life of the engine.  Poor oil servicing may have accelerated wear on the chain and spockets.

Thanks for that chaps, i did wonder if it might be a chain!

So i guess that listening for a rattly sound from the chain area is the thing to do?

As The Boy says oil and filter change ever 3K max
