Looking at petrol kodiaq, skoda tells me the CAMBELT is not a service item

Are they belts or chains and surely belts need changing?

They are belts but classed as 'lifetime' so are reinforced and stronger than normal as well as the engines having oval shaped cam gears to reduce load on them.

From memory the service requirements are 240,000km / 150,000mls and then only 'inspect'.
