Well his guess (sorry, detailed research) had a 50% chance of being right

Some more info from the helpful people at SEAT CS (they really are very good you know). Service intervals for the 1.2TSI engine are check belt at 60,000 then every 20,000 miles until it must be replaced at 120,000 if not before. Interesting how long these change intervals are. Anyone got a view on this longevity?
On some of the engines the water pump is driven by a separate belt off the back of the exhaust camshaft.Had my Cupra 280 over 4.5 years and only just found out from my dealer that it actually has a timing chain and not a belt. It does not get changed unless it has a fault, so next service will be a lot less than I thought. Wonder if I should get the water pump changed though like they reccomend doing when you have a belt change.
Just to confirm (quite confused still), all 16V 1.2L TSi mk3 Leons are belt, correct?From memory the EA111 engine (the 8v 1.2TSi) is chain driven, the newer 16v ones (EA211) are belt driven. Think that works out as the 85 and 105PS engines are chain, the 90 and 110PS engines are belts.
