How can there be such a discrepancy between 40/60/80/120k miles lol? Some of you won't even do 0-40k miles in your cars, and some won't take it anywhere near 90k either.
Surely only one can be the official recommendation from Dub themselves?

Some it is because of poor dealer info and it will also change during the years of production of a particular model.

Take the brake fluid service intervals, this changed on the 08 model year from something like 2 years or 30K to 3 years without a mileage stipulation.  :confused:

I'm at 57k miles now Steve on an 06' plate, so I'm wondering whether I should do the cambelt tomorrow or whether I can wait till 60/80k obviously, which is why imo the guidelines can be misleading, as everyone says a different figure?

I appreciate that belts breaking probably isn't that common on MK V's compared to other makes/models.

Cheers.

prepree:
When i picked my car up from stealers last week, i asked about the belt change and was advised 60k or 4 years,

So now in november its booked in for MOT, Service & Cam Belt change! OUCH

no golf clubs at all:
It's 4 years regardless of mileage. I did mine just before 4 years cos quite frankly I had the money at the time. Total overkill actually the belt that was taken off was next to brand new! There are numerous posts on this debate.

Who are we to argue with Vw ? Lol I mean if we don't stick to the schedules and the worst happens we're left high and dry.

92k miles so far.

As I say for me with the variable service they recommended belt change at 80k miles or 4 years. I got mine changed at 60k miles as I dropped mine in for DSG fluid change as well.
