Do I need to change my Golf's belt?
I just bought a 2016 golf 1.6 tdi diesel automatic. This can run 87000 km. I brought from the Volkswagen showroom. Did they check everything about the car and do I need to change the timing belt 87000 km. How many km it will run
Our answer:
Hi Jijo,
If you bought from a dealer then you hopefully have a warranty with the car, so check that with them.
In terms of the timing belt, it is not due until the car reaches 210,000km.
