How often to change a Polo's belt?
How Often Should I Chang Timing Belt on a 2002 VW POLO PETROL
Our answer:
Hi John,
You've not told us which engine size you mean. On top of that, 2002 was a changeover year for the Polo model. So, by way of example, for the belt in the 'up to 2002' model powered by the 1.0-litre petrol engine, it must be checked by a mechanic at 90,000km and then every 3,000km until it's deemed necessary to replace.
