Chain or belt on my Octavia?
Hi Shane Your expert answers are a great source of information, super site well done to all. My question: Is my Skoda Octavia 1.2Tsi bhp 105 manufacturing date December 2012 a timing belt or chain and when should it be change? The car has 65,000km
Our answer:
Hi Frank and thanks for the feedback.
Your car has a timing chain, which has no set maintenance schedule. Some chains stretch over time, resulting in rattling, but with proper oil servicing you wouldn't expect to see that for hundreds of thousands of kilometres.
