Title: General up keep
Post by: jason1989 on April 30, 2010, 01:05:30 PM
I was just wondering how often the charger belts had to be changed, how often a charger should be rebuilt ect. im servicing it every 3000 miles at the mo! is that enough?

thanks

They say a charger should be rebuilt every 15-20,000miles but it all depends on what size pulley you're running. The smaller it is, the sooner the charger should be rebuilt. I'd change the belt every couple of thousand miles to be on the safe side.

yeah charger servicing is recommended at like 20ish k on  standard pulley but this will come down to about 10k if using a 65mm pulley.  As for belts, just replace them when they are worn and start slipping, don't see the point changing them every couple of thousand miles.
