Timing Belt Interval for 1.6 TDI

[leon_mike]

Trying to work out what the timing belt interval is for 2010 1.6 TDI Ecomotive?

The Seat UK 'fixed price servicing' page seems to suggest:

"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."

Checked the service book and it shows the following:

This seems to suggest:

60k miles - Check and replace Cambelt on Petrol Engines (except 2.0 FSI and TFSI)
100k miles - Replace Cambelt on Diesel Engines with pump injector
120k miles - Replace Cambelt on TDI Common Rail Diesel Engines and 2.0 FSI/TFSI Petrol Engines

Believe the 1.6 TDI Ecomotive is Common Rail....

So is it 5 Years as per Seat UK Website or 120k miles as per Service Book?

Whichever comes first. Maybe they'll do it for free as compensation for the emissions ferk up

I know that's the normal wording but the Service Book makes no mention of age.

Unless you visit the Seat UK website there is no age listed in the Service Book.

So surely people with no internet access or outside the UK would not know about this 5 year recommendation.

What's annoying me is it had its 5 Year service in March (before I bought the car) and the service company has ticked 'No' to everything so not sure what they've done, suspect just change the oil and nothing else

I had same question when I brought mine. It didn't really state my model in book. So I have them a ring they said for my 1.6 tdi ecomotive 2012 5 years or 80k
