Drive Belt

fascinuk · Mar 1, 2013

Hi Guys

How long a life span should the primary drive belt have on a RRS V8 4.2 supercharged? I'm getting a vibration knock when idling about 650rpm
and hydraulic level in reservoir is jumping around a bit. RRS done 42000 miles, reg in 2006, so probably never had a belt changed.
If belt needs changing, do you have to do the secondary as well?
Any info much appreciated

Also cured the HDC System fault message by buying and fitting a new battery.

Thanks

Roger

not many sport owners on here mate that DIY.

look in the manual, it should state the service life of the belts

Hate to point to another forum, but RRSPORT.CO.UK • Index might be of further help!

If in doubt, swap it out.
