I was told 60k by one
dealer and 120k by another so got on to seat uk they said
"After investigating your query with SEAT UK's Technical Department, I can advise that the timing belt on your vehicle should be checked at 60,000 miles and every 20,000 thereafter. The timing belt can be changed at the
dealer's discretion but replaced at a maximum of 110,000 miles. SEAT UK recommends the timing belt is replaced every four years on lower mileage vehicles. I hope this information is of
help to you"
An independent says too much focus is given to cambelts, as long as it is in good condition and not contaminated by oil etc should be good for atleats 100k the 60k myth is an arse covering money making exercise, how many motorists that
service their cars regularly have had a cambelt go as a proportion of total cars on the road - very few me thinks.
if you are the unlucky one it could go at any time i know one person only who ever had a
problem and that was on an audi A4 it broke at 16k so a 60k change would not have helped.
