Auxiliary Belt failure - cam belt change question
#3
Fully agree with what Rusty says.

Sounds like they cut corners by not replacing the aux belt a the same time as the cam belt. It has to be removed to gain access to the cam belt, so might as well change it. False economy not to.

I also failed to get a glowplug replaced under warranty. Cost me something like £150 4 years ago including the part, labour and diagnosis check. Although I had already told them what was wrong with my own diagnostic check.

3 different types glowplugs for your engine if it has start / stop. 2 different types if non start / stop.

Mine was cylinder No.2 that failed. Had to be the expensive pressure sensor one that failed.
