Jeez, my 1.4fr is now at 82000 miles, and as far as I know, it's not been done.
How much was it to get done please ?
From the Maintenance Manual Seat.

I post a link to Seat manuals:

You will find many manuals and answers to your problems. There is one major problem: you have to read them. These manuals are made by those who made the cars, not by Seat representatives around the world, if you know what I mean.

£399 for the timing belt. They do recommend doing water pump at same time, fortunately for me my 1.4 140 ps engine is not driven by timing belt so did not need done.
Would I be right in thinking there is no specific mileage for replacing the timing belt ( for 1.4 petrol ) ?
As long as it is inspected every 30 000 miles ?
Don't think that is the case as the belt has to be taken off to inspect to see if it is cracked on the teeth which of course are on the inside of the belt. Might be wrong unless someone knows for definate??

I again have looked in the user manual and service manual and can not find the cam belt change info listed anywhere. I have a 2014 Mk3 Seat Leon 1.4tsi Se 122bhp. Would be grateful if anyone could advise.

Just one question:
Who do I trust: the manual made by those who build the car or the dealers? For your correct knowledge and soul peace, try to send an email to SEAT Spain, ask them about this cambelt change and their answer will be the one you should trust. No comment.
( This cambelt change at 5 years or "N" km has been around for more than 10 years, meantime automotive materials have evolved: kevlar, fiber glass...)
