i have a 53 plate Hyundai Matrix, i have had it since i passed my driving test 2 years ago.

When i bought it, it had 27,000 miles on the clock and now has 34,000 on the clock. i dont drive far in it now probably about 60 miles a week.

It had one previous owner, and has been reglarly serviced.

So my question is, Does it need the cambelt changing yet?

Probably should have mentioned its a 1.6gsi.

Thanks

    Have a look in the service booklet, it should tell you the intervals in there. I would have thought it would need changing around 60k, don't quote me though, I'm just guessing.

    Even if its not near the mileage, its likely to need doing because of age.
