As you can probably guess apart from driving my knowledge of cars is zilch
So any advise would be so much appreciated
Query
Do I need to get the cambelt changed and/or when does it need changing is the mileage or the age of the car that determines it

every 10 years or 100,000 miles , which ever comes first and that applies to the Aux bet too .

Hi there,

I have a Volvo V50 2009 2.4 with 'MW' in the VIN and B5244 Engine No.. Is this an engine with a timing (cam) belt? It has done around 180000km

Also usually when the car starts and is being driven it has a shuddering sound on acceleration, not sure what this is linked to.

Cheers
