Yet Cam Belt Interval

[DavidMark]

Skoda now recommends 140,000 mile interval for cam belt replacement as of bulletin July 23.

I questioned them on this and they confirmed.

I raised the question what if the belt breaks before that?

They replied to follow the service schedule for the vehicle as per the handbook ( that says every five years) it is the owners responsibilty.

So thats it then as clear as old sump oil, what does everyone think?

There are threads in virtually every section of the forum on this.

From before July & since.

?

What engine do you have and how old is it?
