110 TDi Cambelt question

[Deleted member 5241]

Morning,

My Toledo is at the point where according to the service book its due a cambelt change - 40K miles. So I rang our local independant, who we have trusted with all out VAG cars, and he reckoned that 60K is ok between changes.

Apparently, the miles gap between changes can vary dramatically for the same engine from manufacturer to manufacturer.

Any ideas? Part of me says stick with 40K but part of me says go with their experience and greater knowledge of the range.

BTW, its the AHF engine IIRC, thanks in advance.

Ibiza 110 Tdi (ASV engine) - the cambelt must be changed every 90.000km (that's around 60.000 miles).

im doing mine at 60k. cant see how they can vary the mileage between models really... odd.

OK, so what will you be planning to change when you do the belt? Roller bearings + other stuff?

dunno, i will leave that up to my skoda master tech friend to sort out for me

when we quote at vw its 60k or 4 years which ever comes first and cambelts are cheaper than engines if it all goes wrong
