| Briskodian | Cambelt Recently bought a 1.8T from a Skoda dealership 100 miles away from home. Car was registered in Feb 2004 and has done 26k. They serviced the car before I picked it up but only looked like they had done a small service. I've recently read that VAG say you must have it changed every 4 years which means it's due in Feb. I have the usual 12 months warranty, if I don't get the cambelt changed and it fails would I have to cover the repair? The dealer told me it didn't need doing until 60k / 5 Years, if I hadn't been on the internet I wouldn't know any different? Should the dealer (who sold me the car), have changed the cambelt before I bought it? What sort of cost am I looking at? When did they change from 5 years to 4? |

| Site Sponsor  | Re: Cambelt Hi VAG change their mind every year with the cam belts If the belt goes it will be down to wear and tear and not warranty Try to argue with the dealer to get it done by them FOC but I doubt it The price we charge is £295 + VAT and that includes the metal impella`d water pump Hope that helps?

| Re: Cambelt I hope you mean impellered, cheezemonkhai?  Or maybe impelled, seems to be different schools out there. But I agree with you on impella'd  |
