So apparently this is now an issue that the newer style of putting cam belts inside the engine and exposed to oil is now quite an issue?
So much so I have been advised to change mine in my C3 earlier than the recommended 100k miles.
mine is 8 years and 84k miles and my garage has recommended i change it ASAP based on previous ones on Ford and others failing early.
my dealer has also stated these belts can break down over time and thus cause the oil strainer to clog and generally not be good for oil pressure.
Its not to expensive and I have just booked it in to be done at £475 but googling around this seems to be quite an issue coming?
