It's a 2011 roadster with 27k miles .
Service history etc. I am used to running a mercedes so don't know much about these cars.
There's no mention of a cambelt change In the history folder I have and I have been told they should be changed along with water pump but don't know when. Car runs well.
Can anyone please advise?

Cambelt should really be done if it's a 2011. Regardless of mileage.

60k miles or 5 years seems to be the general consensus.

It's not too expensive at a main dealer using the fixed price servicing.

I've had a 2009 model for 5 years. It's been pretty good for me. Fancy a change but it's hard to find anything worth changing it for that I can afford!

Thanks for your advice I was thinking on the same lines so I will get the job done. Its a great little car with loads of tech and I like the paddle shifters. It's not as quick as my mercedes but still good fun.

Are you sure it's not a chain driven engine?

TTS uses belt driven EA113; the high power 'S' EA888 was not launched until later on and never fitted to that model of TT (although base 2.0Ts did get an EA888).
