Leon Cupra 290 Timing Belt Interval

[ZackDaniels93]

Hi all,

I've got a 2019 Leon Cupra 290, that's just rolled over 40,000 miles. In the process of booking in the DSG service, and it occurred to me at the same time that the timing belt has probably never been looked at. Went to my owner's manual to look for the recommended interval and found... well, nothing. Only intervals shown in there are for a full/ oil service, and the various filters.

Does anyone have a link for the more specific intervals for parts that require inspection and eventual replacement? In this case it's the belt, but I'm talking alternator, pump, turbo, etc; the stuff that'll need specialist attention and isn't inspected during routine services and MOT. I don't plan of getting rid of the Cupra for a long time, so don't wanna make the mistakes I made on previous cars and relegate maintenance to when it needs to be done. Can't find anything on Seat's website.

Cheers.

The 2.0 EA888 engine in your car has a timing chain rather than a cam belt - check out the table on the website at the link below. The chain should be good for many more miles and in theory is a non serviceable item, but it might be prudent to periodically check it for stretch once you get to 80k - 90k miles.

Ah dude, thank you, that's helpful. Don't know why I couldn't find this information a little easier, but appreciate it.

I had to have mine changed at just under 93k a couple of years ago. Almost £700…

Yeah I've heard quotes from £500 anywhere up to £1500 depending on the model and garage, pretty spenny work overall. That's the other reason I wanted to know, because it's rare I have that kind of cash just sitting around!
