2015 2.3 150bhp Ducato which is a Euro 5+.....I think.
Now coming up to 5 years and has 50k miles on the clock.
I'm confused about whether I need the cam belt changing this year or not.
The service schedule in the manual says:- Replace toothed timing drive belt (*) (110 (º)- 130 - 150 )Multijet Versions) 120K miles or 96 months
Underneath it says:-(*) Irrespective of the mileage, the timing drive belt must be changed every 4 years for heavy-duty use (cold climates, town use, long periods of idling) or at least every 5 years.
I've previously read on here that the belt should be changed at 5 years but the schedule seems to be saying 8 years unless there is heavy-duty use.
I'm confused so could you mechanical experts on here give me some guidance please.
