Hi all,
My V40 turned 10 years with only 49k km on the clock. Last several years I do only 3-4k km a year mainly city commute to work and back. The car is kept in a garage.
I am aware that it's time for a timing belt and a water pump change, however due to low utilisation I wonder can a pull one more year without changing the belt? I did visual inspection and as far as I was able to, the belt appears like a new, no any cracks or discolorations.
Replacement of the belt with pulleys and pump is around 800eur at the official workshop where I live.
Any advice?
