When to change a 181 Octavia's belt?
181 skoda octavia 1.6 diesel timing belt when have to change thanks
Our answer:
Hi George,
That belt should be changed every 210,000km regardless of time. We'd advise having its condition checked by a good mechanic every couple of years if you are not a high-mileage driver.
