Cambelt change interval (km's)

[Avalon Audio]

Hi all
I have a 2002 VX100 4.2TD...I am trying to find out what the cambelt change interval is?? Normally there is a sticker on the belt cover but I can not see anything... I have heard both 100,000 and 150,000 k's but would like to be more sure.
Cheers

Its 90k Miles or 150k KM

I know its not the same but thats what it is

Or 5 years - whatever comes first.
So yours could be up for the second change now.

I never knew about the 5 year interval. That seems some what a short time as most people only do around 10k a year so after 5 years you would have only done 50k. Mine has not been changed and is 10 years old next month with only 26k miles. Maybe I should open up the cover and take a look....the service interval does not mention anything about 5 years.

Just FYI, confusingly, my 2004 Japanese-spec 100-series VX UZJ100 v8 came with a 100,000km service interval sticker. From what I understand this is a JDM vs international difference, and I can't find any explanation for the difference, the parts are the same. Everywhere else got 90,000 mile / 150,000km.
