@What time/mileage intervals should the cambelt on the 1.6 engine be replaced?

60k/4 years

Thanks. Mine will prob need doing in another 20k then.

It doesn't mention this in the manual though, just says check condition and tension/replace when required.

When I took my 1.6 Felicia in to Parkside Skoda they recomended changing the cambelt at every 40,000 miles or 5 years whichever comes first. Skoda themselves only say to check the belt every 20,000 miles for damage, but this sounds a bit risky to me.

It does sound risky.

I have checked my belt and it looks ok with no damage

Thing is theres no record for my car when the belt was changed, if at all.
