Cambelt change

[Alvarado]

Anyone got anything on this?

 

My Skoda Superb has a petrol engine, it's 4 years old (11 plate), 40k miles.

 

Who's had it done?  What's the cost to change it? (it won't be going to a Skoda dealer after my experience last week, see dealer reviews).  What's the likely cost if it goes bang?

 

It seems a bit over the top to change the cambelt after only 40k miles but I'm not surprised Skoda recommend it (I am thinking a*se covering).

 

thank you.

Yours doesn't have a cambelt.... It's chain so doesn't need replacing. It's the diesel that has the cambelt and requires replacing every 4 or 5 years depending on date of first registration..
