The petrol is 60,000 or 5 years, not sure if Diesels are the same.

Mines a 6 year old car.....dont have any service history or anything but it only has 18,000 miles on her.......should I change the belt?

I never let a belt get past 4 years or 40k. I've heard of belts going at 45k on many cars, plus age takes its toll on the rubber.

How much does it cost to get them changed and fitted etc?

At VW quite a bit, over £300

I got mine replaced at VW dealer for £160.00 including tensioner & alternator belt. On my wife's MK1V, they charged £214.00. They said the MKV is easier to work on. They even cleaned the car afterwards!
