Should I worry about my Beetle's belt?

Bought a 2012 VW Beetle 2 years ago with 13,000 miles. Should I worry about timing belt. It's not a turbo.

Our answer:

Hi Bill,

As it hasn't got a turbo, we're going to assume it's one of the last of the generation that was replaced in 2011-2012, as the later cars all have turbos. You've not told us the engine size. The 1.4 and 1.6 petrol engines both use timing belts. If that doesn't cover your car, please do come back to us with the full information.
