    in the UNITED KINGDOM we are told that the F355 cambelts need to be replaced every 3 years , and the tensioners checked

    i have been doing this religiously, but believe that the recommended interval in the US is every 5 years, despite exactly the same belt being used

    please could you tell me how often you in the US are changing the belts. and if any of you have run into problems (and if so what ) with changing the belts on 5 yearly intervals

    Ferrari recommends 3 years for us Yanks.
    A lot of people wait for 5 years
    A few wait longer
    A few never bother
