VW Transporter T5 2005 1.9 - Timing belt - theho

Hi.

Just about to have the van serviced. It has done 93K. I bought it last year at 72K. There was little service history as it had been serviced by a family friend (think this was probably true) and the belt would have been changed at the correct time (ie 60k i assumed). A garage has just told me the service interval for this model has been changed to 40k so if it had been done on time, it is coming up to it. Is that true? What is a reasonable price or this work? I think it's a 85BHP.

Thanks in advance,

John.
