Hey bud id say cambelt every 80k.. I never take chances with cambelt as it may cost you valves! Get hold of Koos Swanepoel developments in Capetown! Sure he will sort you out nicely!

AFAIK, your car should have a timing chain ... and not a cambelt. Anyone else care to comment/confirm this ?

Thats right. No cambelt. Has a Timing Chain.

Have a look at your V belt though. That may require a change.
