Thread: D4 (3.0) Timing Belt

Yes there is also a time limit. 7 years as it happens if I remember correctly.

Yes and a bit more fun on a 3.0lt although not really that much harder than a 2.7lt

Except a 2.7 body does not have to come off. I also think that while the book says the body comes off for the 3.0 injection pump belt, it can be done with the body on.

Thats the slightly harder bit, I'm onto the second one now, yes a AULRO member here did the first one with body on and noted it was prolly going to be quicker with the body off. I looked at the first one and very quickly knocked the idea on the head, I spent more time prating around with trying to work it correctly, than what it takes to remove a body.

Like I've said in other posts, what method a mechanic/repairer uses to do a job isnt overly important, as in if they find a particular method easier to do, then its likely they are going to do the job better.

Had my belts done a couple of months ago, 3.0 with the body on in Coffs Harbour. Belts and service $1990. I currently have 150000km.

But The KMS is actually 182,00kms, for the 3.0L.
The 2.7L is 168,00kms 7 years.
2.7l service interval is 24,000km 1 year = 168k
3.0l service interval is 26,00km 1 year = 182k
You might get away with leaving the belt up until the 182km mark, but for piece of mind I would recommend it.

Just did the timing belt on my D4 3 litre, had a look at the READ belt and decided that is a post tax return job, eff that.

Not too hard, will put up a new thread.

Did you mean the rear belt? I'd love to hear how that can be done DIY.
