I would get the belt check out, that advice is somwhat against the industry. Alfa has half all it milage recommendation for there cars as well.

I also have a xsara and it done 70,000 belt change at 80,000 I check the belt at 68k and it was cracked and perished(I booked it in next day!).

I would ring a couple of garages and i'm sure they will give you the state of play.


As for costs I was quoted £415 inc all belts and water pump from the Audi dealer, who also have a VW dealership and charge less an hour there!!!!
