08 mk.1 Skoda Superb 1.9 tdi cambelt / timing belt intervals

[anonymous-user]

Hi all

Last year I inherited the title car from my late father, I think the timing belt was due or may be due but have found so many conflicting opinions on when.

Its a mk. 1 Superb, with the PD105 engine and 5 speed manual box, has done around 72250 miles and is just about to hit 6 years old - visually the belt looks fine with no signs of it looking shabby in any way or I'd be on the case without asking.

I don't want it to let go but on the other hand it's an expensive job so don't want to do it if it's not needed!

Any advice chaps?

Belt is due on time and 6-years is just too long unfortunately. 4 or 5 is usually the recommendation.

Thanks, best take it easy until I get in booked in somewhere then. Just the expense nobody needs in January, I'm guessing the thick end of £500 for something like this?

4 years or 80k which ever comes sooner.
