Cambelt change, what service??

[clarky_86]

Which service should the cambelt change be done at?
I thought it would be 60k but a VW servicer ( none VAG ) said unsurely that he believed it would be the 100k service.

Who has had theres done, and how many miles had it done?? Also how much should i be looking at?

cheers

If it hasn't been changed by now, get it booked in straight away.

Not 100% sure on the actual recommended time because it constantly changes. But i would change every 40k miles or 5 year, which ever comes first.

Get the tensioner changed also, this is a MUST.

Change the water pump too buddy, they dont cost much from main stealers and give you that piece of mind too!

As above... 40K intervals on the cambelt... Any garage who thinkgs it can wait till 100K should not be recieving your custom!!!

I just bought a cambelt kit....

2 belts
2 Idlers
2 tensioners
Random bolt

That came to £100 including VAT....

I also bought a new waterpump, alternator belt, alternator belt tensioner etc.... whilst its appart replace anything that unbolts

mine was done at 50,000 and 96,000. Glad i got it done as the tensioner was just about knackered

its every 40k or 3 years according to the VW service schedule. It used to be 60K but they reduced it.
