How often do you renew timing belt

I have AEX 1997 Polo MK4.
According to Haynes I should renew the belt every 60,000 KM
According to VW service book (and the dealer) every 3 years or 120,000 KM.
What is the correct period?

Mister D, thanks for the idea, but I WONT drive on a dark blue car on 40C temp. without AC :)

About using neutral, its a good idea and I do use it.
My question was more about: Try adding XXX to a tank.
Or: Use XXX oil instead of XXX
