Cam belt and Water pump replacement interval

Post by Mypoloisaposlow »

Hi all, now I'm pretty sure I'm over but I like to chance things...
Not long taken ownership of a 2010 1.6tdi 75bhp polo 6R and previous owner isn't much use as doesn't know if cam belt had been done.

Checked Autodata and that says 140,000 MILES(!!) or 5 years.
I'm just over the 5 years but only on 78,000 miles.
Anyone know or been told different service times for this model?
Thanks!

The belt life is a max of 140k or 5years whichever comes first

It's time for a change
