VW Suggest every 40,000 miles or four years, which ever comes first.

Personally id get it done if the last belt & pump weren't done when the car was in your possession.. but that's just me - and you know its good for awhile too. I service a car ive just bought even if its just had one  :grin:

It will be fine for the minute, look to get it replaced around 110k
