I'm pretty sure it should be changed every 40k / 4 years. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.From what I remember VW initially stated something questionable like 80k in the handbook. This has since been revised!

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.From what I remember VW initially stated something questionable like 80k in the handbook. This has since been revised!So should i get it done considering its way over 4 years old, even though its only at 33000 miles?
The belt is nearly 10 years old, so absolutely get it done! Rubber degrades over time from the constant hot / cold heat cycling. It's not always about the mileage, which is why 10 year old tyres aren't a good idea either When I got mine done last year at the stealer, I was told it was 4 years / 40K.
My Edition 30 is a 2008 and has covered 41K Miles, It had its first Belt and Waterpump in 2012. Its only covered 18K Miles since then but as its 4 Years I am getting it done.VW say 5 Years or 80K but I always go off Every 4 Years or 60K Miles!Mine is getting done in a few Weeks
I had mine done in 2013 17K ago but im having mine done on the 26th along with some other bits, bit paranoid about things not being changed for years regardless of a booklet. oil is meant to be 10K isnt it? mine gets dropped every 6 monthes reardless of miles othherwise my car would have had 1 oil change in the last 4 years with the next due in 1100 miles time! I'm having the following changed for £416 inc VATcambelttensionerwater pumpauxiliary beltanti freeze
What is the book time for a change on the belt?
