When to change a Fabia's belt?
I have a 2016 Skoda fabia,when does the timing belt need to be done.Thanks
Our answer:
Hi Ian,
It depends on the engine fitted. The diesel's belt must be changed at least every 210,000km, regardless of time, for example. For the petrol engines, officially, the belt should be checked at 240,000km and then every 30,000km after that until the mechanic deems it necessary to change it. We'd recommend having it checked well before that.
