hello boys and girls :)

was wanting to know should i get my cambelt service done, although my as200 has done under 54,000kms but it is a 2000? am pretty sure about the mileage as it has full jap service history, it is the age thing or should i wait till it reaches 100,000kms? your thoughts please :P

it is coming on 10 years old now it is not going to hert it to to the cambelt ect
it is up to you if you want to risk letting it go out to 10000km
if it was me i would just do it on the time factor and for pice of mind

got my cambelt done yesterday, bought the cambelt package then had my mate's mechanic do it for $180. also did the drive belts. i must say the cambelt and all associated parts was still in good shape.

so if anyone needs a mechanic to do this let me know happy to point you towards my mate's mechanic :)

My cambelt was last done at 100,000kms and the car has now done 175,000km. I am gonna do mine in 5,000kms time. Gonna do all the bits and bobs that go with it to make sure everything is in tip top shape :)

yeah know what you mean, really hard to find a mechanic you can trust

he has over 20 years experience so really knows stuff, plus he has experience with our cars so that's reassuring

really happy car feels tighter :lol:
