[oneday]

just make sure you get quality stuff then it will be good for 80000 to 100000 miles before it will need doing again

cheers one day i do 3000 miles a year in car so that should last forever lmao are gsf parts ok thats who i normaly use

If your HDi engine is the same as the one in my Xantia, Citroen have a replacement interval of 80,000 miles or 10 years, whichever happens first. As you probably have to remove the auxilary belt (and parts) to replace the timing belt, it makes a lot of sense to fit all new parts so you don't have to worry about them for quite a while.

i think at that mileage they will be fine not heard any bad reports about them. youll be onto your next car long before you need to do them again lol

[trucker1]

i think ur right lol love the ride in car so ill keep it as long as i can

GSF timing belt kits are INA, kits, these are the people who make them for the manufacturers, so basically oe quality.
