Citroen Picasso - proactive servicing/replacing parts

[Issi]

Hi all,

I've got a 05 Picasso (don't laugh, it was a desperation purchase and it's been fine so far).

I'm just about to go over 75k, and wondering if there are things that I should be replacing before they go bang.

Should I have the cam belts, turbo etc replaced, just in case they are in imminent danger of letting me down?

Any help or advice gratefully received.

what engine? Pretty tough car,biggest failings springs and wheel bearings.

2ltr diesel.

it's been a tank so far, only tyres, brakes and wipers.

I guess that you wouldn't change the springs and bearings until you had a reason to?

Thanks for the repsonse btw.

Pretty sure cambelt interval is 100,000. Mine's just eaten its original clutch at 120,000 or so (but then I did remap it.....it never slipped before I did that!)

Ditch the EGR valve, that's always worth doing. Otherwise just hammer it around til something breaks, that's all I'm doing!

Brilliant, thanks for the advice.
