Tiny_Tim Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 I am looking at buying a 2003 Passat Estate TDI 130 4 Motion. I have checked and it is due for a service (54000) i am unsure of service intervals and have been told its just and oil service. I thought that the Cam belt would need to be changed at the sametime? Any advise is greatfully received Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might as well get them to do that or take £400 off the sticker price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meriafel Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Cam belts should be replaced at a maximum of four year intervals according to VW so your cambelt will need changing. My 2002 130 TDI is on 111k but will have to have its second cambelt replacement in September rather than wait for 120k to show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
