How often should I change my cambelt on Mk6 Golf 1.4 TSI
« on: 25 March 2013, 19:08 »
Hello

My wife has a 59 plate 1.4 TSI (122) and just wondering how often should I be changing the cambelt?  The local VW garage said every 4 years/ 40,000miles which seems a be frequent to be honest........I have looked in the service schedule but I don't find it that clear to be honest.. 

I'm running a Mk3 GTi (AGG) and I change the cambelt every 5-6 years/60,000miles the same as an old Mk2 Scirocco I used to run.

Also, can anyone recommend a good VW Specialist in Birmingham?

Many thanks in advance.

Yes, has chain not belt. Contact any VW dealer, they will advise for free:)
