belt

On the way to work this morning my cam belt snapped on me. Bit of a stinker, but what do I do now? Car was recovered back to a local (ish - curse the 10 mile RAC limit ) garage where I asked them to assess the damage. I assume I'm in for a bill of a hundred quid or so just for getting the...

Conflicting evidence out there regarding recommended service life of PD timing belts. Autodata recommend 40k miles or 4 years, Tecdoc data supplied by Contitech (who are OE supplier of belt to VAG) recommend 90,000kms. Word on the street suggests VAG have bulletined dealers to change at 40k...
