    Cool Warning !!! change that cam belt

    Well peeps it would seem that many are ignoring the new revised intervals for a cam belt change on their stilo's..dont think that because fiat tell you the cam belt is good for 72k it is fact..dayco who-are one of the biggest in the belt industry are saying that it isnt safe to leave the belt unchanged after the 36K mark and as fiat are using belts from this manufacturer then the fiat claim just doesn't hold water..good tip here if you dont want to go to fiat to have the job done is to find an independent who are using the Dayco belts..and if they are they should be able to offer the dayco warranty plus scheme which means that Dayco will pay for all repairs even if the belt has been fitted incorrectly..[I picked this up on another site which wasn't a fiat one so check with the garage and dayco before hand to see if this info is still valid..anyone living in the vicinity of L&M international can get a good deal on servicing and cam belt changes..

    So if yours is over the mileage of 36K dont delay and get it done ..the cost of repair to and engine where the cam belt has snapped doesn't bare contemplating..
