Hi Guys Does the top of the range Octy 2007 KL&L have a cambelt or chain? read this from what car not sure if they are right :think:

 

"All engines, apart from the 1.6 and 2.0 FSI, need their cambelts changed once every 60,000 miles or four years. You need to make sure this has been carried out; the 1.4-litre petrol unit has a history of cambelt failures, which can lead to a wrecked engine. Get the cambelt inspected if you’re in any doubt."

 

What are your thoughts on this guys?

cambelt on my 2.0 FSI, every 4 years or 120k, i can't remember of thats KM or Miles.

 

any mechanic worth his money will do the waterpump at the same time.

Double check your fuel filler, it will prob be 98 Ron, i recommend you keep to that as its better fuel economy due to variable valve timing and fuel stratification won't start etc.

 

on cruising on the motorway i can get 38MPG at 75ish.. if i really push for efficiency I've got 42 but that was a lot of careful fuel efficient driving!
