1998 Vw Polo mk3 6n1 1.6 AEE Engine .

I have mentioned above it is a Skoda Felicia Combi with the 1.6 litre AEE engine...

So Skoda suggests to change the Timing belt every 5 years from the date of Installation.. Right ?

My Timing belt is Continental brand Do you mean 5 years from the date of installation ??

My timing belt brand is Continental, i dont drive much km , my timing belt is intalled 4 years ago and only driven 10,000 km, So i will change the belt every 5 years from the date of installation.

there is no noises and there is no cracks it all works fine ... but i want to know the recommended km/years change interval .......

What is the recommended km/years for the timing belt to change it ??

Hi guys, I have Skoda Felicia combi with the 1.6 litre AEE engine, i drive about 5000km per year, i have changed the Timing Belt (Continental brand) 4 years ago and have only driven about 10,000 km in those 4 years and i checked the Timing Belt and it looks fine with no cracks or anything, So now I want to know when should i change the Timing belt km/years and if i dont drive much, how many years can i wait before changing it ???

I have been using Mannol Defender 10w40 semi synthetic engine oil for about 3 years now and it is doing great with me, i begin to use it since i swap the original 1.3 litre engine of the car and replace it with the 1998 VW Polo 6N1 1.6 AEE engine and attach it to the original 1.3 gearbox, my trusty mechanic do this swap job since 3 years and the car is doing great with no issues bec. my original 1.3 gearbox is in good condition and most of the gearboxes in the used parts market always whinning bec they are stored for years without using.

Well guys i treat my car well, it is my father's car, he bought it brand new in 1996 and he still use it till today, so we are the first owners of this car, the thing is our gearbox has never changed so this is the original gearbox since it was new and my father always used 80w90 mineral gear oil so the gearbox get used to 80w90 mineral GL-4 and it is running good with it, and i use good quality engine oil which is Mannol Defender 10w40 semi-synthetic oil, ATE DOT 4 for brakes and IADA cooant for cooling system and they are all doing great and never had a problem using these products, So for me as far as the car is running good overall, i don't like to change or switch to another brand of oil or fluids, i like to stick with these products all the time.

What is the viscosity of Redline is it 80w90 or what ?? and is it Mineral or Semi Synthetic or Synthetic gearbox oil ??

Thank you for the information, i will change it on 3 or 4 years maximum

So guys end of the line here, i use Mannol Universal 80w90 Mineral gearbox oil and it is doing great with me, I drive my car maximum about 5000 km per year no more than that and sometimes less than 5000 km, So should i change the Gearbox oil every 3 years or 5 years or what ????

I use Mannol Universal 80w90 GL-4 and it is a Mineral oil, it is the best choice for me and for my budget and it is doing very well with me in the summer and winter, i change the Gearbox oil about 2 years ago now and i have only drive about 4000 km since i change it, So what is the Gearbox oil change interval Km/Years for this oil ??

Guys, i use Mannol Universal 80w90 GL-4 for the Geabox oil change, i change the Gearbox oil about 2 years ago now and i have only drive about 4000 km since i change it bec i dont drive too often, So what should i do ??
