« on: 20 March 2014, 15:52 »

Now this is strange, the spec I have for mine is 80k or 4 years and I've seen 120k or 5 years, I've only done 25k in 4 years so I'm leaving it.

Mine is a Feb 2010 car, 4 years or 80k.  Had it done a couple of months back, cost £399 at VW including the water pump.

I find it strange that VAG Cars with the same engine Codes:

Skoda
Audi
VW

All have different Cambelt change dates

At Audi on TDI's it is usually 75k or 5 years :)

Both Engine codes
for 2011-2013
CFGB-CBBB
Both 170ps

Same engines but different Time Period for cam belt change,That the germans for you

Even though there was a engine variation change in 2010-2011 were the EGR was moved to the back of the engine and built within the EGR cooler i think the timing belt kit's are the same part number so god knows ha

I swear mine is a CBBB engine, EGR is at the front, oil filler cap to the left if looking from the front at the engine.
