Hello Alan,
I already know that you take the opposite view to me on this, and indeed on many other topics. To answer your questions though:

I did not carry out laboratory tests. My investigation was pragmatic on my car only. My belts were 19 years old and were perfect. They could have continued in service for many more years. A handful of other club members have reported the same findings. That's sufficient proof for me that the six year rule is not technically based.
I could also issue a similar challenge to you. How many KV6 belt failures have been proven to be caused by age or faulty tensioner and/or idler pulleys?
I do not want to get involved in a lengthy and repetitive exchange with you Alan. For one thing, it's a distraction from the question posted by the author of this thread. He has now heard both sides of the argument and can make up his own mind.
Best wishes to you.
Simon
