Timing belt replacement intervals

The information relating to timing belt replacement intervals is additional to the main purpose of this CD, but is
included to provide guidance to garages and for customer advice.

Where possible the recommended intervals have been compiled from vehicle manufacturers' information. In a few
instances no recommendation has been made by the manufacturer and the decision to replace the belt must be
made from the evidence of a thorough examination of the condition of the existing belt.

Apart from the visible condition of the belt, which is explained fully later in this section, there are several other
factors which must be considered when checking a timing belt:

1. Is the belt an original or a replacement.

2. When was the belt last replaced and was it at the correct mileage.
3. Is the service history of the vehicle known.
4. Has the vehicle been operated under arduous conditions which might warrant a shorter replacement
interval.
5. Is the general condition of other components in the camshaft drive, such as the tensioner, pulleys, and other
ancillary components driven by the timing belt, typically the water pump, sound enough to ensure that the
life of the replacement belt will not be affected.
6. If the condition of the existing belt appears good, can you be satisfied that the belt will not fail before the
next check or service is due.
7. If the belt does fail, have you considered the consequences. If the engine is an INTERFERENCE type then

 considerable expensive damage may well be the result.
8. The cost of replacing a belt as part of a routine service could be as little as 5 to 10% of the repair cost
following a belt failure. Make sure your customer is aware of the consequences.
9. If in doubt about the condition of the belt - RENEW it.

Replacement Interval Guide

Replacement Interval Guide

Land Rover recommend replacement every 48,000 miles.

The previous use and service history of the vehicle must always be taken into account.

Check For Engine Damage

Check For Engine Damage

CAUTION: This engine has been identified as an INTERFERENCE engine in which the possibility of valve-
to-piston damage in the event of a timing belt failure is MOST LIKELY to occur.
A compression check of all cylinders should be performed before removing the cylinder head(s).
