Done a lot of searching, found nothing conclusive, am I jumping the gun if I get it done at 100000km? When are others doing theirs?

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.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

Maybe you are but in the front pages of each of my two VW service books ( Not the Owners manual) it states very clearly at what K's to check and also when to replace the belt. I have no doubt it will say the same in yours.
But then I suppose its easier to just ask on here and get several different answers which may or may not be correct.2021 Kamiq LE 110 , Moon White, BV cameras F & B

Mate no true aussie bloke ever reads the instructions!
To be fair to the OP, this is a forum for sharing info, and the owners manual is pretty verbose...2014 Skoda Yeti TDI Outdoor 4x4 | Audi Q3 CFGC repower | Darkside tune and Race Cams | Darkside dump pDPF | Wagner Comp IC | Snow Water Meth | Bilstein B6 H&R springs | Rays Homura 2x7 18 x 8" 255 Potenza Sports | Golf R subframe | Superpro sways and bushings | 034 engine mounts | MK6 GTI brakes |

Interesting... I wonder if the belts being fitted to the Australian tigs is any different to the belts being fitted to German tigs. I have a the 2010 tig and changed my belt at 175k. The recomendation is 180k or 5 years. I know that pre 2010 tigs the recomendation was 120k or 5 years.
