When to change my Ibiza's belt?

When to change my Ibiza's belt?

Hi, can you tell me please when the cam belt on a 1.2 seat Ibiza petrol should be changed, 120,000km on the clock now but don't know if it has ever been done. Cheers.

Our answer:

Hi Tony,

You've not told us the year, so we'll assume it's a 2008-2015 model given that mileage. 

All the 1.2-litre petrol engines of that era in the Ibiza used timing chains, not belts. The 1.2 diesel did use a belt and it must be changed every 210,000km regardless of time.
