Hi
Mines a 1991 2.5tdi. Cambelt broke in France at 70000 miles-"They all do that at 70000" according to the fitters in the UK. Cost over a grand and a month to sort plus the stress etc. I would have thought that at 8 years old your belt should be changed regardless of the mileage. The Engine centre who rebuilt it also had problems finding the correct head gasket, but maybe that was an excuse for taking so long to fix it.

Best of luck with it.
Phil

Thanks Phil, I guess discretion is better than a £1000 bill. Chris
