Timing Belt Interval ?

2010 2.0 CR TDi engine.
engine code CFHD.

unable to get a definitive answer on this. Some dealers quoting 120,000 miles. Surely that's not correct?

115 or something mad like that but I have heard 5 years mentioned a few times.

I'd be very tempted on this one to call customer service and ask for confirmation on an email. The dealer service departments are likely to smell a sale and say do it immediately.

On the VW 2.0 CR (170) TDI it's 4 years if the car is registered prior to September 2009 and 5 years if it's registered after September 2009. From my local dealer and VW website.

Service booklet just quotes a mileage of around 120k miles.

For the majority of people it will be changed based on time not mileage.

120000 or 5 years seems to be the figure.

so I emailed customer service, and the reply was,

"we recommend the cam belt is either changed at 140,000 miles or when the vehicle is 5
years old, whichever comes first"

5 years it is then.
