Cambelt Change - Really Needed Now?

^ 50k? - Hmm.

See that makes me feel a little bit neglectful, although mine is an 06 plate so it's only just 3years 5 odd months odd @ 58k miles.

I supposed another 2k isn't gonna hurt.

Has anyone had or known anyone with a failure on the GtiV?

not heard of one yet and I spend far too much time on vag forums.  Maybe vw wanted to generate more revenue for the dealers?!?

no golf clubs at all:
I changed mine before the 4 years (just cos it was going into the garage for a service anyway), the indy said the cambelt was in perfect condition and no way needed changing, but of course we did it anyway (I insisted) ,....just in case it went and the worst happend.

Its all total scaremongering and when I tried to get the definitive position out of VW, indies, main stealers they all came back with several answers.

bondy:
thers no way i would recommed 120k on a belt. i would go for the 5years or 80k just like the previous models. If it states in the hand book that i wonder where you would stand with vw if there was a failure before there alotted time and mileage.
