Did your mechanic say it was not done or he recommends it is replaced as it is due and he has no proof it has been done!

normally they say "we have visually inspected and it's fine". you can't ascertain whether it needs replacing by looking BTW.

hmmm. If a yard has two identical cars, and they swap cambelts between them, can they rightfully claim to have "replaced the cambelt"!

Toyski-Can you PROVE that you were told the cambelt had been replaced! In a nutshell that is what it comes down to once all the shouting is done.

A trained eye would be able to, well used cambelts have a distinct appearance, as do new ones.You just have to know what to look for.

did the person who told you it needs replacing stand to benefit financially from the replacement!
