Hi,

I recently bought a Skoda Fabia 2016 1.4 TDI 90hp from Italy via an intermediary. Its service history does not show up in Skoda service network. There are 4 notes(latest one is attached bellow), that indicate servicing, however I'm not sure whether they can be trusted.

In any case, the unreliable piece of paper shows a timing belt change, so I've decided not to change the timing belt. However, for an additional piece of mind, I'd very much like to know if the timing belt breaking will damage the engine.

 

So, can anyone tell me whether or not this is an interference engine?

 

Thanks!

 

 

 

A timing belt failure will most probably result in an engine rightoff. But the chances of that happening are greatly exaggerated by VAG. The manufacturer of the belts states a life of 160km: VAG leans towards providing easy money for its agents. 

So, you're saying it is an interference engine?

Yes, it is an interference engine.

Yep.
