Guest Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Mines Petrol, the only reason im wondering about my cam belt is that the belt is squeaking when i start the car but stops whilst driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Ah.... As you probably can tell i dont know very much about cars etc, just the basic's.... But would still like to know how much a cam belt is for the future! would it be more cost effective if i bought the part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
