Technical Timing belt change

[GPUNTO2]

Just got my first Punto (MK2) and was wondering when in terms of mileage should i be thinking of changing the timing belt.

I think the recommendation is 65,000 miles or 5 years which ever comes up first.

4 years/48K whichever comes first on an 8V.

Which is yours?

Cheers

It will be due its second change about now.

Its easy to do, might as well change the water pump too, along with the tensioner.

Cheers
