Octavia cambelt changing guide

Skoda recommended interval of an inspection at 60,000 miles and replace if required, re inspect every 20k after that it not replaced and replace at 110,000 miles if not been done, or four years.

However I'd never want to visually inspect a cambelt and guarantee its good, so replace at 60k.

A visual inspection really only tells you if the belt is good at the time of inspection. I've seen old belts on low mileage cars (before the 4-year change was introduced) deteriorate over only a few thousand miles.
