When to change my Octavia's belt?
I have a 141(5yrs) skoda octivia dsg 120Km on my clock. When should i change the timing belt? Slow driver in general but mainly short with some long distances to. Thank you
Our answer:
Hi Daragh,
You've not told us which engine your car has. The most common ones are the 1.2 or 1.4 TSI petrol, or the 1.6 TDI diesel. The belt needs to be changed at least every 120,000km in the former and 210,000km in the latter, regardless of time - or how you drive.
