I have just bought a very low mileage GTI(15K)

Not sure if it has had a combelt change(not collected it yet)

Should I get it done asap?

When should it be done,timewise?

Cheers

Steve

I read on another forum that a mechanic can do a visual inspection on the belt.

Anyone have any knowledge?

Had it replaced at main VW dealer in the end for £254 inc Vat.

Cheaper than independents.(next day as well in under 2 hours)
