i rang seat dealer and he said 60k but on jabbasport it says 70-80k does it matter aslong as it before 100k. i know off thread but how much should i be payin for cupra R standard apart from recaro interior?
blimey well that depends, colour age mileage condition...
and the cam belt i think is imspection from 40-50,000 most say not need till 60-80,000.
but if you get it remapped then id do it sooner.
also while oyu are there id change the tensioner and water pump for brass impellor.
lots of posts on here about it.
put aside £400 for bits and labour.

IIRC they actually say do the Cambelt every 5 years or at 60,000 miles and at the same time change the Water Pump to a Water Pump with a Metal Impellor
I have a Y reg 2001 Ibiza Cupra and i had my Service, Cambelt, Tensioners and Water Pump changed at 60,000 miles
I dont think its worth risking not getting it done as it could go whenever and cost you SO much more but then people could say that about everything being replaced before its needed to be done, so i would say its really your decision but you know that anyway
How many times does this come up????
Currently the advice is for a petrol model inspect cambelt at 60K and every 20K thereafter, change if required but must be changed by 120K.
However there will soon be new advice coming out that it is advsed to change at 4 years regardless of mileage for all models. Skoda already advise this.

Reports of them snapping at 70-80K

Currently for petrol cars built in model year 2000 and older then yes it is 5 years, but Craigs car is newer and falls outside this parameter (don't ask me whats changed since 2001!). For cars built MY01 onwards there is no changeover based on time, just mileage . . . until very soon . . .
. . . the 4 years I quoted will be the new specification for all cars, old and new, petrol and diesel, soon. Skoda already quote this now, SEAT are playing catch up but I understand will announce the same very soon. I believe if a dealer now called SEAT technical helpline they will say it should be changed at 4 years
