When should I change the cambelt on my car?
My 2016 Ford C-MAX 1.5 TDCi has now done 52300 miles, do you recommend a cam belt and water pump change?

The cambelt should be changed at 150,000 miles or 10 years which ever comes first. If and when you do change it we would also replace the water pump.
