Hi, Newbie here. My 2011 F2 diesel, owned since 2012, is coming up for 110,000 miles. My independent LR garage wants to change the cambelt at the next service but I want them to service the Haldex and do the cambelt next year. They say Haldex isn't required according to LR service schedule. I am advised that Cambelt change for 2.2 TD4 is every 150,000 miles (240,000 km) or 10 years Pre 2012.

Advice please?

Thanks

If you decide the cambelt, be aware of this.

the Cam belt schedule originally for the TD4 was 10 years or 150k (which ever comes first)
then when the SD4 came along L/R dropped the schedule for Both engines to 7 years or 112k (which ever comes first)

and if you do the cambelt ...... change the water pump and idler at the same time.

All this information and more can be found in the SEARCH button on the blue bar above.

i thought it was 9 years for the cambelt on the SD4 ( mine is 2013 MY)? FL2 SD4 XS 2013 Orkney Grey

No, it's 7.

Can other forum members support this ?

the Freelander Specilaist site states the following

eelander 2:
2.2 TD4: Every 150,000 miles (240,000 km) or 10 years Pre 2012

2.2 TD4: Every 144,000 miles (230,400 km) or 9 years 2012 On

but no mention of SD4? FL2 SD4 XS 2013 Orkney Grey

so why the difference? Is there a cheaper belt in the later models or is it something to do with a subtle get out clause for extended warranties on cars under 10 years old ? 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto
Now Discovery Sport P250 MHEV SE

I think that you might be bang on the money with that statement Dorset. The car is long out of production and I should imagine that the warranty administrators can't wait to see the back of it in 5 years time. It wouldn't surprise me if the renewal premiums creep up enough to make it an unviable option in terms of extended warranty.

Looking purely what it would cost if either failed, I’d say go for the timing belt and water pump. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto
Evoque SD4 Dynamic Lux Auto
Present: Audi A3 S Line.

Higher pressure on the common rail on EDC17 system put more load on the cambelt which is driving the HPFP (high pressure fuel pump).

Thanks Lagered!

my dealer has confirmed it is 7. You may have saved me an expensive bill

cheers  FL2 SD4 XS 2013 Orkney Grey

A nice full bodied LARGE RED will do fine

Definitely SEVEN years, I remember the one and only Yorkie Bob putting the topix page up.


and what YB said was usually correct



 If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.
