The indie garage that quoted 500 for the cambelt, is the garage that services my Scala, so they do know which engine it is.

Hey, thanks for the information. last year a local indie VW garage quoted me £491, it will be more this year I am sure. The car has done 25k. I used to have a Citroen wetbelt petrol and that I changed at 45k, they found crumbs in the oil strainer, so I felt vindicated!

I am getting conflicting info on when to change cambelt on this engine. Some say 5 years others say lifetime. What is correct? This a dry belt so one would expect a long lifetime.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I think, to be legal, I'll get a whiter halogen set.

The dipped lights are LED and very cool white, the main beam is a lot warmer. It's a known 'issue' or 'feature' with Scala headlights that have LED dipped lights.

My 2019 Scala has halogen main beam, this means you get the very white dip beam mixed with warm white main beam. Looking for recommended repalcement.
