so i put a new cambelt and tensioner on the rocco when i fitted the engine about 10 years ago and hve since done maybe 2000 miles in the car. i'm replacing the cambelt just due to age as i would rather it doesn't snap!
the tensioner though is pretty low mileage.
should i replace it? i've got a feeling everyonw will say yes!

Re: cambelt tensioner replacement
I would stick a new tensioner on as well just for peace of mind.
