Hi guys
I've been offered a LT35 2.5 mwb hightop,not had an LT b4,it's got 72,000 genuine mileage,55 plate Jan 2006. There is no history of a cambelt change[what mileage to change],and I can't seem to find anything under Mr Google,or I might just be blind.
Could someone put me right about the matter and what's the ball park figure for having a new cam kit fitted.
I've drove it and although it doesn't over excite me it pulls ok,gearbox seems ok,there is a hint of black smoke coming out of exhaust at start up,but my mate said he couldn't see much of it when following.Is there much else I need to look for.It passed it's last test,with advisory on slight misting of oil[front shock absorber,and slight play front susp arm ball joint].
This looks like the site for me if I purchase the van.
Look forward to hearing from the people in the knowSmile

5 cylinder 2.5 tdi - would recommend changing belts every 4 years.  If you have no history do it ASAP as a snapped belt = £££. Consider water pump at same time.  It's a bit of a mission to do the two belts plus it needs VCDS to set up the pump timing once the belts are swapped.  Haven't costed one for a while, I think the last one worked out around £600 fitted

Don't consider changing the water pump, when you change the cam belt. Change the water pump every time!!!!!!
