When to change my Golf's belt?
I have 161 1.6 diesel highline golf!at what mileage am I due change?and how long should new one last
Our answer:
Hi Brian,
Assuming you're talking about the timing belt, then officially it's every 210,000km regardless of time. We'd urge you have it checked well ahead of that, though. Same for a new belt.
