Scoobs are done on age or mileage. Whatever comes first but look at 3/5 years or 30 and 60K.

There are experts who will no doubt correct me.

It says in the service manual when it should be changed (think it vary's with model) and as Blue said it is age or mileage which ever come first.

Mine has not long had it's 3rd belt fitted and the car is 8 years old with 67K on the clock.
