If the cambelt needs replacing, I certainly wouldn't be paying main dealer hourly rates to get it done!

Cambelt is 100,000 miles LOL on the Gti check the owners book

Owners book says inspection 60k miles, and then every 20k miles after that. Mine does anyways.
However, that was later changed by VW to 40k miles or 4 years - whichever comes first - even though owners book says otherwise.
I think it may just be an inspection of the belt though at 40k miles - not sure, so you may wish to check! Many owners have had it changed at 4 years or 40k miles though - at least their dealers have stated it needs to be done.

i was told that its now 60k. I'm on 36k at 4 years but have been told 4 years is oversafe, 5 years just right and 6 years should be okay at a push

seee... all dealers arent stealers! lol :grin:
good price though.. we also have a 3+ club.. 10% of parts, 10% of labour, free puncture repairs.. cant remember what else (i set it up.lol)
ive just done a quikc quote on a gti for a 40k and even with 3+ discount, it still be £300.. thats for:
- oil and filter change
- spark plugs changed
- pollen filter replaced
- brake fluid change (due every 2 years)
the cambelt cant actually be 'inspected'. It is advised its changed after 40 years or 60k..
