T6 Timing Belt

[Legin]

I think 1 set of pads and front disks at 77,000 miles quit acceptable.

As I do. New ones at sub 20,000 less so.

They still have time interval in the UK?

In my booklet it says only: 210 000 km (+/- 130000mi?). No time schedule.
Mine is already spinning around for 10 years and 140 000 km. I am not changing it sooner than 210000 km. It will take me about another 6 years.

Fine and that is your choice. But 16 yrs with the same timing belt? I’m not a mechanic but isn’t that asking for trouble?

We'll see between today and in 6 years.
Don't forget that new timing belts are glass fibre reinforced.
If VW knew that there would be a problem in time, they would give a time schedule for the timing belt.
It only has a mileage schedule, so why and when should I change it? What would be the right time? 4 years? 8 years? Not up till now. Maybe in 2 years from now, after 12 years?
I'll let you guys know if the timing belt decided to end it's lifespan prematurely.
