Is this the right time to change my Octavia's belt?
Skoda octavia 2011 142k. T/B replaced @ 88k mi. Mechanic says change again @ 150k mi. That sound reasonable? Thank you.
Our answer:
Hi Catherine,
You've not told us which engine the car has, as the interval varies. Assuming your car has the popular 1.6 TDI engine, then the belt needs to be changed every 210,000km, regardless of time.
