Seat Alhambra Revised Cambelt Change Times

[DougJones]

Seat Alhambra owners of 2003/4 130 models may be interested to know that I have just contacted the Seat technical helpline as I was unsure of the correct

cambelt and tensioner change times relative to time, as my Alhambra has onle done 30,000 miles.

They informed me that the change intervals have just been revised to:-

60,000 miles or 4year whichever is the sooner with the tensioner changed at the same time.

The maintenance handbook indicates 40,000 miles but with no time interval given.

The Seat helpline previously advised me in 2007 that the cambelt should be changed at 55,000 miles and the tensioner changed at 111,000 miles.

Hope this information will be of some use to Seat owners.

I had the belt changed on my 115 Alhambra a few months ago.

It had only done 30,000 mls but was four years old so didnt want to take the chance.
