    HPFP belt- Change or not ?

    Gday All,


    I am changing my oil pump and timing belt at about 132,000ks mainly because a car close to my VIN on the UK site had the tensioner break off , so to put myself at ease I will do it sooner rather than later.


    I am tossing up whether or not to do the HPFP belt as well , but in theory it should be fine for another 30,000ks. Its a separate job so in 2 minds


    Thoughts ?


    Cheers Ean

    preventative maintenance is not preventative if you don't do it until after the component fails.

    Its a pig of a job so get it out of the way early If I every needed the body off on my disco that belt will be getting done at that time regardless of how long it is until it need to be replaced!


    For the record when I changed mine, the HPFP belt condition was significatly worse than the timing belt. I belive this is due to the left bank exhaust passing over the top of the transmission directly below the belt so the extra heat dosent do it any favours.


    But on the other hand, whilst its a critical belt to keep the engine running, its not critical if it fails (in regards to engine damage) as it will only kill fuel to the engine
