Cambelt Replacement. Why run the Risk ?

Seat Cambelt Replacement

A Critical maintenance milestone, required evry four years at the very least.

The cambelt in your Seat plays a vital role: It ensures that all moving engine components are synchronised and do not come into contact with one another. Should the cambelt snap, engine damage can be extensive and costly.

The belt is made of a rubber based compound, which deteriorates over time. Even if you don't drive many miles. Deterioration may also be accelerated by contact with chemicals such as engine oil or anti freeze.

Your Seat's cambelt must therefore be renewed no later than the maximum recommended change interval (this depends on model, year and engine type but typically range from 40,000 to 120,000 miles) or after four years whichever is the sooner.

Please don't overlook this critical milestone and do remember to book an appointment in good time. Changing your cambelt is a lot less costly then rebuilding your engine.

What if I'm unsure whether my cam belt has been replaced or not ?

Look in your service book. If your cambelt has been was replaced by a Seat authorised repairer. It should be recorded in the service history.

Unfortunately, it's not possible to carry out a quick visual inspection of the canbelt condition to gain access to the belt, parts of the engine have to be dismantled.
