When should I replace the cam belt on my Dacia Duster 1.5 diesel?
I am confused about the cam belt change schedule on my Dacia Duster 1.5 diesel. I was advised to change the cam belt and associated parts- at 60,000 miles. But the manual states a change at 100,000, what do you recommend?
I personally recommend changing the cam belt, tensioner and water pump every 50,000-60,000 miles or five years (whichever comes first). The manual may state 100,000 miles, but neither the belt manufacturer nor Dacia will pay to fix the catastrophic damage a snapped cam belt will cause to the engine.
The majority of cam belt complaints (I hear about) happen between 50,000-100,000 miles or 5+ years.
