Skidmark Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 I use to change mine at 70k..[mk2s & mk3s].. I guess they would book 3 to 4 hours to it...so £3-£400 ish good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtbag1981 Posted April 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 cheers, the manual says cambelt change at 120k? is that in kilometers ,surely not miles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidmark Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Yes I think it is kilometers...that works out at 74.4k miles ? which is where I got the 70k from [i think ] cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyDub Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 No that is 120k Miles not KM for a 1.8T, It should be visualy checked every 20k from 60k onwards miles though. A rough guide is 60k-80k miles for most recent Diesels and 120k miles for most recent Petrol models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skidmark Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 That sounds ok [plus the vat ] If you don't/can't do it yourself, it's not a bad price cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
