Cambelt Changed!
Cambelt Changed!
Mazda CX7. 2.3 Turbo MPS. Corksport air intake. Turbo Smart dual port.
Got my cambelt changed today at 96,000 miles. The mechanic said there were loads of fluffy flint like fibers at the bottom around the pulleys and my belt was about 20% thinner. Was it rubbing unto something or is that normal?

Sounds like it might have been the original belt on there, you were probably lucky it lasted that long !

Many thanks.
Just a quick question and sorry to poke my nose in, am I a bit daft to let the cambelt in my LS430 go for 100,000 miles or 10 years? Just a bit worried as I know that some belts on the IS200 have been quite a bit weak after 60,000 miles. I'm already on 77,000 miles and I can just imagine the size of the bill if it goes.
Many thanks.
But yeah, done well to get that to 96k if it is the original belt - if it's not the original then that's quite aggressive wear!

I think it's just the IS200 that was changed to 60k - all the others were 100k. If you're worried though prob no harm in getting someone to just take a look at it
