the cambelt cant actually be 'inspected'. It is advised its changed after 40 years or 60k..

Wow, I'II be 64 when my cambelt needs changing then    :grin:

*Hijack - apologies*
So do we have definitive answer on the cambelt then? My car has just turned 4 years old and is on 63k, I was considering having it done in the next couple of months, or can I put the financial pain off for a while!?  :sad:

I had a letter from my local dealer - book through myvolkswagen.co.uk and get a further 5% off the following...

2-4yrs old - 5% on labour, 5% on parts
4-6yrs - 10% and 7.5%
6-8yrs - 15% and 10%
8-10yrs - 20% and 12.5%
10+yrs - 25% and 15%

Also the note about a price match policy using genuine VW parts.

Sure I only paid £199 for mine - price matches, then another £180 odd for the DSG change
