Watch out for cam belt changes and the Aux belt tensioner problems. OR have they sorted this on the newer versions?

The belts have all been done 15-20k ago but they still have the issue of a noisy dephaser pully which works the variable valve timing. Common fault and makes it sound a little like a tractor.
