Hey,

I just thought I'd post this.

We bought a 1999 AR 166 24V sportronic not too long ago. We have driven it for about 4000km's when the tensioner seized and snapped the cambelt resulting in you know what.

According to the Alfa dealer, the cam belt was indeed changed at 60,000km's as per usual.

Bit of an odd occurance. Any thoughts/comments welcome.

it would be good to change belts and tensioners, 2 pcs of support pulleys and aux belt at same time not just the belt (in my car 156 v6 they change these parts in normal belt service). Interval 3 years/60 000kms
