I agree with Hoygaard.
The factory recommendation for cam-belt is: MAXIMUM service life 5 years/120,000 km or 3 years under harsh conditions.
There is a mandatory inspection at 3 years/60,000km whereby the belt should be replaced if it is showing signs of black dust or deterioration.
Our experience in Australia is that the belts normally require replacement the 3 yr 60k mark as we have a lot of city stop-start driving as well as wear caused by dust. Don't underestimate this critical item.
