When to change my Golf's belt again?
I had timing belt changed on 1.6 2015 golf at 165000km. When does it need changing again?
Our answer:
Hi Mary,
If it's the 1.6 diesel, then the recommended interval is every 210,000km regardless of time. If it's the 1.6 petrol model it's different, as it's suggested that the belt condition is checked at 240,000km by a qualified mechanic and then every 30,000km until it's deemed necessary to change it. Most will urge you to replace it sooner than that.
