Hi,

I suspect that this may have already been done to death, but - what's the interval for a cambelt change? On the old PD engine it was 60k (I think VW recommended more, but I always did 60k).

Also, what's the cost of this (ballpark) and what does it include from a dealer (pretensioners, etc)?

Thanks - JTW

It is every 60k or 4 years, whichever comes first. The cost varies from one place to another. No idea what the dealers charge.

Thanks :)

I've have been informed by my friendly service receptionist that the B6 is 80,000 and costs a whopping £400...... OUCH
My previous B5 Passat was every 60,000 and cost £250.
