Had a conversation with Marshall's Newbury about this the other day in reference to one of our company cars (Mk3.5 SEL 1.6TDI) The official line from Skoda UK is 140k miles. It used to be 5 years, but they have now gone to mileage rather than time. The same guidance for both Petrol and Diesel. One of the Senior Tech's said that cambelts are now so good, very strong, kevlar reinforced, that most have little or no degredation when thay do change them out. Much better than the days of my old Mk2 Cavaliers with a 30k interval......

Hi, is there anyone in the Hampshire area (Basingstoke) that has VCDS that will work on a 2020MY Octy? Bought a CAT S back in July (that was supposed to have been repaired) and am working my way through a couple of faults, now have Front Park Assist unavailable every time I start the car, have changed all 4 of the sensors for new Valeo ones, and have checked the integrity of the front bumper wiring loom, but fault still appears, am on friendly terms with a local garage and he has plugged in his Snap On OBD reader, but this doesn't find the fault. The car has been to the dealers for recall/software updates, they won't do the update while the fault is present, although the car is still under warranty, the dealer won't honour it as it had a light front ender. Just want to get it sorted, want the upgrades doing - wireless carplay etc etc, but most of all, want the worlds most annoying yellow triangle off the dash. If it makes any difference, car is 2020 Kombi, 1.5tsi SE Technology Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated Thanks in advance - Big Mark

Is NOT on the SE Technology. Well, not on mine anyway - Sept 2020 car
