Timing belt change

Hi guys... Im new to this forum. I recently bought a 2nd hand Polo 9N3 GTI. At what mileage should I change the gear oil and the timing belt? I am currently at 115k mileage. F.Y.I It is from Japan. Zero knowledge of service history. Please help.

Gear oil at 100k intervals, I prefer doing cambelts at 90k intervals.

Since u just bought the car, I suggest u do a full service including the fluids.

I don't know about anybody else, but I don't trust people. Iv seen alot of fake/untrue service book stuff aswell.
For my own peace of mind I just replace everything and then start from scratch with the intervals..
