Yeah, the book says 'chain & tensioner replaced'. Will ask them to inspect it as part of the service to be on the safe side.

It was done in June 2015 so 5.5 years and 51K miles ago. I’m having it serviced next week so I think I’ll ask them to inspect belt & tensioner while doing the service.

Thanks @bspman It is a petrol. According to the service book the timing belt & tensioner were replaced at 89K. Looks like the replacement interval is about 112K (book says 180k KM) so looks OK in theory (140k miles now) but is it usually a good idea to replace more often than the service interval recommends?

Hello! I'm new here as well, but I can say from past experience with other forums that they often prove very useful when resolving car troubles. Best of luck - hope you manage to get you car fixed!

Hi Everyone! Just collected my first Skoda on Saturday - 2010 Octavia vRS - so wanted to join the forum and say hello. Hope everyone is staying safe, well and sane! Michael
