A Cambelt or what is sometimes known as a ‘Timing Belt’ change is one of the most important maintenance aspects for your car. If you neglect it – it could result in major engine damage.
V.A.G. Technik recommends changing your cambelt approximately every 60,000 to 80,000 miles or 4/5 years depending on the engine type. Your service manual will tell you the correct mileage for your cambelt change. If you are unsure don’t hesitate to contact us directly for advice or a quote
The questions you should ask yourself are:
Are you 100% sure that your cambelt has been changed at the correct time or mileage?
Are you 100% sure that your cambelt has been changed at all?
If you have just purchased or are looking to purchase a used car, does the previous owner have proof of a cambelt change at the correct mileage?
