Does the 2.0 TDI have a cambelt?

[Scott_FR]

Can't find anywhere in the paperwork whether or not the 2.0TDI engine has a cambelt or is chain driven.

Can anyone please confirm? And if it is cambelt, what are the intervals?

 

[Glarh]

Yeah it does and I'm sure it's 3 years or 60k miles which ever first

Great, thanks for the heads up. Best get onto it asap then!

Are there any ancillaries that should be changed at the same time, eg: water pump, thermostat, tensioners, etc?

 

[Glarh]

There's no rules as such but when I had my tdi I got the water pump changed the same time as a recommendation from the garrage. I took there advice and all was well..other than my wallet. Lol

How much does it cost to change a belt and water pump?

Ouch!

It says on that link that the cam belt is covered by a 5 year warranty

It might have changed when I had my ibiza tdi 143 it was 3 years or 60k I'm sure. Might be worth giving the dealer a bell see what they say?

as taken from the website

Most SEAT engines are fitted with a cambelt. Your cambelt works very hard to drive vital engine components over hundreds of millions of revolutions and so is recommended for change every 5 years or a mileage interval if sooner.

Its 5 years not 3

 

[Scott_FR]

Is there not a mileage limit?

 

[stu_m]

There will be but its not stated on the website

what is your mileage now?

I have heard varying figures quoted from 60 - 120k!

 

[Scott_FR]

Around 80k.

 

[stu_m]

personally I would be changing it soon at that mileage

Unless the manufacturer states otherwise

Does it? Work hard I mean? Well I never . Who'd have thought it? Puts all the other lazy bits in the engine to shame.
What a fkn condescending statement.

Book for my Ibiza 143 says 130k miles and no time limit?

Ok, facts have been checked....

The cambelt interval on the 2.0TDI is a remarkable 140,000 miles or 60 months!

Panic over.
