04 2.0 petrol - timing belt due a change? - Wowee
My other half has a 307 SW 2.0 SE Auto. registered as a UK import (new) in April 2004, we bought it in 2006

Super car, lovely to drive, all the fancy Gizmos work (touch wood). It's coming up to 40,000 miles. I assume it has a timing belt, so should we get this changed at the next service?

The recommended interval for an RFN is 80,000 miles or 8 years in normal conditions; or 48,000 in "adverse" conditions.

You'll have to judge for yourself if your usage is "adverse."

Hmm, well, for the first year we owned it, it covered mostly motorway miles. This last year it's done a daily suburban commute of about 20 miles. Only 'adversity' I know about is it driving thru some flood water (happily) about 18 months ago.

Maybe we can leave the timing belt for another 10,000 then ..
