As fAr As i'm AwAre, A cAm belt does the sAme job As A cAm chAin, its just A different design of timing system. the normAl intervAl for A belt chAnge is 54000 miles, however time is Also importAnt, if the lAst belt wAs chAnged 3 yeArs Ago, And the cAr hAs only done 30000 miles, then you might get AwAy with A few more miles. hAving sAid thAt, whenever i buy A new cAr, i mAke sure things like the belt Are chAnges As soon As i cAn, so thAt i know its done. dont forget thAt people cAn put things in service record books even if they hAven't been done. nick (dont know why my A's Are All cApitAl!) |

Is there any difference between a "genuine" cam belt from a Mazda dealer and an aftermarket, "off the shelf" cam belt. The quote I got from the dealer is 4 times more expensive than 1 from a parts shop. |

Just for some perspective. The South African currency is called the Rand( just incase you didnt know) The dealer supplied belt costs R550, the aftermarket costs R165. 1 pound is approx. R11.50. 1 can of coke costs approx R4.00 So there is quite a big difference in price between the 2 |
