I see a lot on here about how important the
7yr service and the timing belt replacement is.
Just wondering if anyone on here has had or knows
of someone who has had a belt break? It's better to Laugh than Cry

Not a belt break, but a new engine due to the oil pump mount for the timing belt tensioner breaking. Bodsys Brake Bible

Heard of a belt break at 160-odd thousand miles
Have seen them as far as 135k and the belt still looked OK, visually at least...
Think of it this way, its £400 or so for a cambelt change, or £10,000 for an engine swap. The choice is yours My D3 Build Thread

I did a cambelt on a car that had done 141,000 on original belt - the belts looked fine but no idea when the tentioners may let go - that is the problem, not so much the belt snaping

I'm planning on getting mine done soon
It's only done 39k but is 7 1/2 years old
I was just curious as to how much of a problem the belts were, or
maybe the tensioners are more the cause of failure?
Whatever the cause i agree with disco_mikey, better to pay £400 or so
than £10k for a new engine It's better to Laugh than Cry
