Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

    GTI cambelt change interval

    Can a GTI owner please check their service manual for the recommended cambelt change interval?

    I've heard conflicting info:
    120,000km/4 years whichever comes first, or
    120,000km no time interval.

    Many thanks

      I would really suspect it to be time based as well, as most cambelts are.

          I just went down to the carpark and checked. Its says to check/inspect at 90,000km and replace at 120,000km. No mention of time based replacement.
