Hi all
I have 2008 Polo 1.6 Comfortline. I've just passed the 100 000km mark. Could someone please advise when the cam belt needs to be changed? I recently did an annual service in April with 97 200km on the clock, but only an oil change was carried out.

Between 90 and 120000km or recommend 5 to 6 years.

Thanks for the info. I guess I'll have to get it done asap, seeing as though the car is 8 years old.

I was about to say that.
That is low kilos for a 8 year old car.
