What did you and your MK2 do today?

[AndyG_TSi]

My 4th service is due next month

car's a 2010 car on a 59 plate, 33K on the clock so far

Major service due, so £249

car isn't 4 years old until January 2014

So cam belt change at 4 year service while it's in + waterpump change next month

or

delay the cam belt/water pump change until its 4th year anniversary in January 2014 when its in for MOT......

Chain driven so it would be a different type of service!

Really mate...

Is it still 60k/4 years to change the chain then?

And is it more expensive to have done?

 

[bigbadjay]

Not a jar mate. Its a tensioner kit your best off asking somewhere like david cooks then also a VAG specialist!

Guys the TSI chain does not need any kind of maintenance! Its there for life and you don't need to touch it or change anything unless there is a fault. If a dealer tries to advise cambelt change they are talking rubbish as the car doesn't have one!

 

[bigbadjay]

No inspection or tensioning? Checking log book!

Shouldn't have to touch it whatsoever unless it develops a fault

cheers J400uk,

Funilly enough on the main dealer service sticker on the inside of my windscreen, where it states cam belt, they've put 60K/4years, as if it needs a belt.
Clearly not right then if it's chain driven

I shall check my manual anyhow just to be sure.

Are we definitely certian all 1.4 TSi's are chain driven, there wasn't a change at some point meaning some are chain & some are belt depending on engine code/year of manufacture.....

 

[J400uk]

No worries, I've got the same service sticker on my windscreen

There was a change to cambelt for the latest EA211 1.4 TSI, but SEAT are currently only fitting that to the 2013 MK3 Leon. However they use a new type of longlife cambelt designed to not need changing.
