Should I change my Fabia's belt?

have a skoda fabia 2014 mk2 has 66000 miles.Should I change the timing belt/

Our answer:

Hi Desmond,

You've not mentioned which engine your car has. Many of the Fabia's engines use timing chains, not belts. The non-turbocharged 1.4-litre petrol engine has a belt, but it doesn't come with a set replacement schedule. Instead, the belt should be inspected by a mechanic at 90,000km and then every 30,000km after that to ascertain when it should be changed.
