What did you and your MK2 do today?

Well im sure it's meant to be done at 4 years so if it hasn't been done I would be doing it personally. Belts perish over time, and even if the car only does short journeys it still does lots of heat cycles. As it's effectively holding the engine together I wouldn't chance it.

Just had another spin in the Leon now that traffic has dies.
Omg...the new map tweaks are amazing!
Extra bonus, almost all smoke gone.
Much faster, revs much easier, not as aggressive in low load (works out well for 1st and 2nd gear in launch)
Need to get it dyno'd again.

This is correct I just had my 3rd year service and I have the receipt sleeve thing and it has on it maintenance prices and its says "Cambelt Change (including tensioners, every four years or recommended mileage, whichever occurs soonest) Petrol £279/ Diesel £349"
Just booked git international tickets and club stand can't wait it's going to be awsome. My first one EVER
Thats where I'll be getting mine done. They do all the work on my car. It includes water pump which the Seat price doesn't so its well worth it. Mite as well do the water pump as if it fails its cambelt off job anyway.
Car needs a service - 2009 FR TDI, 25k miles: Should I go for a minor service or major? Difference is £149 for minor or £249 for major - really dont want to pay £250!
Anyone???
Sittingbourne mate. I use amd as I can drop the car in, spend even more money in lakeside then walk back to pick the car up.
I thought people had responded above?
Don't risk it, yeah it may be £250 now, but it could save you a hell of a lot of money if the belt failed. You would be looking at a hefty repair bill. It is recommended that it's done at 4 years, even if you haven't done many miles.
I've got 32000 on mine. £249 major service. Taking it in first week of next month.
My car has always gone in for services early. This is for its 40,000 mile but well under.
Yeah I think its 'due' the major service i just begrudge paying £250 :'( that could be a remap for me!
Thats just ridiculous, I bet someone's rolling in money lol
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?
