Hi all,

When should this be changed and should the aircon belt be done at same time?

Personally i change my belts every 2 years.....regardless of mileage.And YES you should change the aircon belt at the same time,it's only £10.

Early service schedules say they should be changed at 90k miles or every 6 years, whichever comes sooner, while later schedules have them as a check every 15k miles.

I follow the earlier schedule, as they are difficult to check thoroughly in situ, and I wouldn't want to take them off every service.
