I have just bought a 2006 1.4tdi 80PS Polo 5dr privately. Just done 20k miles. Looking through the service schedule it looks like the cam belt change is 80k miles - have I read this right?
Any other problem areas with this car that I should look out for in the future?

At that rate, you'll reach the 4 years long before the mileage limit.
|
There is not anything in the service book about a time limit - just says 80k miles.
|
Trust me; 4 years and 40K are quite enough for VAG cambelts and, more particularly, their rubbish tensioners. Fit a genuine waterpump at the same time.
|
OK thanks thats why I was a bit surprised at the 80k mile interval.
Is the belt easy to change on the 1.4TDi?

I don't do the spanner work; but it's not a particularly nice job - the tensioner alone will give you brain-ache. 2.9 hrs book time.
