Original on 100k  :shocked:  :shocked:

VW originally recommended cam belt every 6 yrs or 60,000k, think thay now they recommend it every -  4 yrs or 40k.
Make sure you get the tensioner's done  :smiley:

I'd also get the water pump done whilst you're at it because if the water pump gos you have to remove the came belt again.
