Sorry if this is a repost, please point in the right direction if it is.
A freind has an Alfa 147 1.6 which is a 53 plate and done 40000miles.
The cam belt has just broken.
The service book is stating it should be replaced at 72000m or 5years and the dealer is saying that it should be 36000miles and that Alfa changed the recommended interval sometime last year. He asked them if he could have that in writting and everyone he talks to goes very quite.
Has anyone had any experiences like this? it seems that Alfa have dropped a clanger and are trying to keep it quiet.
Does anyone think he has redress to Alfa for this problem?
He is on their mailing list because they have sent him letters before so they could have contacted him to tell him of the change.
