Leon Cupra Timing belt

Hi guys, can anyone tell me when a Timing belt should be changed on a Leon Cupra, I have one which I am selling to a dealer, and I think they may be trying to have me over by saying
it should have been done. (Unless someone wants to buy the car from me of course!)

Any help greatly appreciated
Cheers

 

More details, year and engine.

 

Sorry, it's a 2001/Y 1.8 turbo Cupra with 52500 miles.

 

Thanks for that Rupe, that is what I suspected.

 

I wouldnt leave it past 80 k tho...and change the water pump at the same time...they are kack!

 

I'd change it before 60k.... not worth the risk of it going

 

agree, id do it at 60k min
my s3 belt was left till after 60k, and guess what...........it snapped!

 

VDub say it should be changed every 4 years.

 

^ At avg of 12k per year, that sounds feasible to me

 

5 years or 60k miles is now recommended for all 1.8T engines
water pump at the same time, as the come standard with a plastic impeller and they are prone to breaking. You can get replacements with a metal blade.
Your looking at around 300 all in a specialist for belt, tensioner and water pump.
