Hello all

New to this so please be kind lol!

Just bought a 2011 2.0 diesel N Tec 4WD on 69500 miles and I have a couple of questions.

Currently awaiting the service logs to come through but I’m wondering what mileage or yearly interval should the cambelt be changed?

Also is it a timing chain or belt, and again what intervals should this be changed.

Not sure what’s been done till I get the service log through the post but as this car was a significant investment I want to look after it as a best I can.

Thanks.

It has a timing chain, not a belt; I don't have info on service interval for 2.0 but for timing chain change, it's 10 years/180,000 miles for the 1.6 diesel and 187,500 for the 2.0 petrol; I expect it's somewhat similar for yours. Good luck with your QQ - enjoy it!
