Hi, my jag has done 84,000 miles and is from 2012, how does the criteria for getting your cam belt changed work. I have been told it is
112,000 miles or 7 years, so by the years it obviously fits that, but as it hasn’t done 112,000 miles how does that make sense?
can anyone explain it more ? Thanks….

 

Assuming the vehicle is fitted with the 3.0 litre diesel engine?

What is indicated in the vehicle's Owner's Manual in the maintenance section?

 

What I was trying to understand was the 7 years or 112,000 miles, roughly at 7 years the car would have done 56,000 miles, so why say 112,000 miles? What’s the logic in that…

 

The logic is that the belt will deteriorate with time, regardless of miles travelled and it will deteriorate with use, regardless of the time taken. If the car had been driven home from the dealership and parked in the shed for 7 years, the rubber would be considered to have aged sufficiently to need replacing.

 

What ever comes first: Time or distance, like POD XF wrote above.
(this is common practice by any vehicle manufacturer)
