I have 1.4 TSI (125HP) Leon 2011.
I have 113k kilometers (70k miles) on the clock with the timing belt/chain still not replaced. It's not making any noises or anything, but am I supposed to replace it? At which interval?

No it’ll be fine for another 10/11 years unless it snaps then it won’t. Probably be ok but not really.
So I don't need to replace it? I'm planning for keeping the car for yeeears, when will I know it's time to replace it before it snaps?
If it snaps it can damage the engine, right?

I'd be playing safe and get it replaced ASAP, I think that @300bhpdaily was just being funny, but sometimes humour does not cross regional/national boundaries very well - I should know, I'm originally from the West coast of Scotland!!!
