1.8T Cambelt change

[p1tse]

i've done some reading on previous prices for Cambelt change for the 1.8T, is it the same for all 1.8T, i.e. LCR 225, FR 180 etc.?

Same price as its the same engine just different turbo etc.

When is it supposed to be done on an LCR 52 plate? My local seat told me 60.000 and my local garage told me that seat had changed their cam belt service to 40.000 now im worried as im on about 37.000!!!

from reading about, and being a perishable item, alot of the concerned general consensus i've seen is 4/5 years or 40-50k miles

hence looking about

there is a good guide in the guides section if you feel brave enough to do it yourself.

Petrol engines used to be up to 110K miles with checks up to then.
However SEAT are now advising to replace ALL belts at 4 years

Thats what it says in the manual too... "Every 120,000 miles: Toothed belt for camshaft drive: replace (only petrol engines with 5 valves per cylinder). Only says check condition at 60k.

I does however say that the TDI's belt should be replaced at 60k.
