My STi is now just over ten years old and in respect of time, is due for it's 2nd cambelt change. The car however, has less miles than the recommended figure for it's 1st change!
The 1st belt change was at 5 1/2 years and just over 30k Since then, I've covered only 18k so, do I leave it for another year or so or is the age aspect more important? There are no suspicious noises from idlers, water pump, tensioner etc.

+1 if it goes bang its a lot of money for waiting a year for a belt

Classics are every 3 years for cambelt change.

Mine has been done twice and I've only had it 3 years.

hmmm, after a bit of digging does look to be 5 years.

Must be a newage thing, classics are 3 years.

yes, 60 months or 50,000 miles.
Think it's a job for the new year.
