Cambelt and timing chain

(1/1)

frasermk5:
My mk5 has just hit 100,000 miles, had cam belt replaced at 60k, is it worth getting the belt and chain done at the same time (does it save a bit on labour cost?) or should I prioritise one or the other at this mileage?

pudding:
Let your wallet decide as there is little to no labour saving do both together, being at opposite ends of the engine.

Cambelt is time and/or distance, so if 60K was over 4 years ago, then you need a belt regardless.

For preventative maintenance's sake, I'd do both personally.
