Should I replace my Golf's belt?
I own a VW Golf 1.6 Diesel with just over 65,000 Km on the clock. Is it necessary to replace the Timing Belt as the car is over 6 years although the mileage is low.
Our answer:
Hi Brendan,
The official interval is 210,000km regardless of time, though there's no harm in being conservative and replacing it earlier than that.
