Does cambelt/waterpump change necessitate an oil change?

Featured Replies

2002 51 reg Octavia vRS.

I'm thinking of getting my cambelt (& poss waterpump) done as although my car has only covered 47K, it is over 4 years old.

Does the cambelt change require draining the oil? I have a service due also but was thinking of just getting it signed off as part of the cambelt change because, apart from the oil, it's not really necessary (long story!)

Thanks

Well, the change is due at 4 years anyway. I cant think of a reason that the oil would need to be changed.

No oil change involved. Coolant will be changed which is no bad thing.
