Leon Cambelt Change

[KingRedz]

Hello Everyone just wanted to seek some help, i own a Leon FR 2017 diesel 2.0 it's currently got 60k miles on the clock and it's been 5 years since make, to be safe should i be changing the cambelt and water pump at this time or can i give it some more time?

The Seat time interval for the TDI cambelt is 5 years.
There are loads of discussions on this on here.

I had mine done at 7+ years and 75,000 miles. The mechanic said the belt looked brand new. I wouldn't overly worry about it.

I had mine changed at the 5 year point, even though the car was only on 50k miles. Personally, servicing and especially cambelts aren't something to scrimp on.

This was my belt at 5 1/2 years and 85k miles

The interval is 5 years (UK) or 140,000 miles. In mainland EU the time is dependant upon market.

The water pump, especially on 2013/14 models was the weak link on VAG cars with this engine.
