Hi all,

Just like to say hello, i have an IS200 on a 54 plate from new, its only just turned 37,000 miles,

on underside of bonnet it says 100,000 for cam belt replacement but does not mention age for replacement, any advice or comments welcome.

Regards,

Jeff.

Hi and welcome to LOC.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for that i was not sure if it was 5 or 10 years, i think services are yearly or 20,000

which ever comes first.

Regards,

Jeff.

Do you not have the service book?

All service intervals are in there with what needs doing on each service.

Basically big services are 20k and interim are 10k.

Auxiliary belts are 60k or 6 years, air filter 30k or 4 years etc...

Here's my service book

Hi,for peace of mind have your cambelt and the auxillary belts changed,its 6 years or 60000mls and as your car is almost 8 years old it is due a change even though its only done 37000 miles,if you dont and its goes you will only have yourself to blame and a big bill to contend with.

Yeah I'd prob get it done as well to be fair. Peace of mind and all that.... :)

Lots of contradiction on mileage/time to change the cambelt. As you can see my book says 100k but doesn't state time so I'd agree with scudney and go with 6 years as that's the recomendation for the auxiliary belts. Lexus Swindon did also say 60k when mine was on 87k and advised me to change it but they stated 10 years so who knows.
