any help on this would be great
Thanks

Engine code and annual mileage? 16v or 8v? Longlife servicing or regular intervals?
Answer those and I'll grant you an answer.
TBH, I expect the interval to be every 48 months (4 years). So you better change it if it's never been changed.

I believe belt replacement on VWs is 60k and 4 years.

AD is showing in big red letters:
Renew every 48 months regardless of mileage
For all the 1.6's I've bothered to check

Hi all, not sure of engine code but we do approx 20k a year. Thank you for all your advise everyone. Any idea of what sort of price i will expect to pay?
