Cambelt Replacement Intervals

Many people are unaware of exactly how often their cambelt should be changed and the implications of a cambelt failure. At Mr Clutch we understand how important it is to keep on top of cambelt maintenance, so, we have collated industry information on some of the most popular vehicles to ensure you have all the information required to make an informed decision.

As an example, if you purchase a brand new Vauxhall Corsa, you are advised that the cambelt should be replaced every 40,000 miles or four years whichever comes first. This pattern then continues, so the second replacement would occur at 80,000 miles or eight years and so on..

Ford Fiesta - 100,000 miles or 10 years
Ford Focus - 100,000 miles or 10 years
Vauxhall Corsa - 40,000 miles or 4 years
Vauxhall Astra - 40,000 miles or 4 years
Vauxhall Vectra - 40,000 miles or 4 years
Volkswagen Golf - 4 years
Peugeot 206 - 80,000 miles or 10 years
