When to change my Fabia's belt?
Hi, I have 2018 Skoda Fabia colour edition 1.0 tsi with just over 12,000 miles on the clock. Should I have the timing belt replaced now. Skoda only seem to recommend by age (5 years) and not by mileage. Could someone let me what I should do.
Our answer:
Hi Mike,
We'd always recommend that you go with the schedule set out by the car maker. They know best.
