adiesh001 Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 just bought a 2012 Delta 1.6 ME Diesel. The garage tells me that the timing belt doesn't need changing until 150000 miles however the maintenance book says 84000 miles or 4 years, the car has 88000 miles on the clock, what is the right answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
