![]() Early versions were blighted by a bad batch of belts which crumbled, causing much damage to many engines and Peugeot's reputation. ![]() Its replacement Peugeot 2008 1.2 puretech engine has a BIO. Our rusty old Focus went to the scrapyard 21yrs old with its original cam and poly-v belts at 162,000 miles. Modern cambelts, if properly made, are extremely durable and probably stretch less than chains after high mileages. A belt in oil bath design should last the life of the car and thus the reason why it’s so complex and costly to do, it was never designed to be done. I’d leave it well alone and just run the car. ![]() It would be interesting to know if this is just UK advice. rumour has it that Honda UK are profiteering by recommending a far shorter belt interval than is necessary. Honda Civic 1 litre turbo - Cam belt change 75k - John F They have also lost a good number of dealerships over the past 10 years and not replaced them including in major cities. The E a lovely car but £34k plus and nothing special in terms of range or features. The HRV is unbelievably expensive at £30k upwards ![]() I am a big Honda fan, the Honda engines on rovers, the Honda civics, Shuttles, HRV, Legend, Jazz and accords of the past have been good cars.Ī very good car in the Jazz that looks hideously complicated and expensive should it go wrong out of warranty and it’s not exactly good value starting at £21k!Ī Civic with a 1.0 engine to avoid, issues with the 1.5 as wellĪ CRV which is no better or worse than anything offered by Toyota, Kia, Hyundai, etc but it starts at £33k ! They don’t offer a lot of models and they have rarely offered much of a discount even prior to Covid. The UK and arguably European market doesn’t matter to Honda, it’s an after thought. Honda have gone down hill, let’s be perfectly honest. Honda Civic 1 litre turbo - Cam belt change 75k - daveyK_UK Sadly, I can see why people are leaving the Honda brand in their droves for other makes - after all, why pay high prices for a car that frankly doesn't match expectations based on prior experience? I'm still amazed though at how Honda's once bulletproof reliability has withered, yet they have to design a semmingly overly-complex and thus very expensive part (which should be relatively modestly-priced) to 'fit' into the spacious engine bay of quite a large car with only a 1L engine (yes, it has a turbo, but still). I'm wondering if the problems began after Nissan joined up with Renault. I too never had any issue on that score with my 1996 build Micra. Given that oil changes, are the number one item for maintenance, whatever the vehicle, then cam chain failure cannot (solely at least) be blamed on the car manufacturer. It may have had something to do with the 2.7L sump capacity and the propensity for the average motorist not to bother about oil changes. They were reputedly made of cheese, although I had no problems with the one I had. They should've stayed with chaincam engines - it's not as though the top Japanese makes ever had significant issues with them.
