Should I change my Skoda's timing belt?
I have a 1.6 Skoda Octavia Diesel registered in Sept 2012 there is only 119000km on clock should i still change the timing belt in Sept 2016 even though I am still a good bit away from 225,000km (km to change timing belt).
Our answer:
Hi Enrica,
Yes you should – it’s recommended to change the timing belt at 225,000km or four years, whichever is sooner.
