Hi,
Firstly apologies as I'm sure this will have been asked before I just can't find an answer at the moment.
I think I am just about to buy a new beetle 54 plate 1.9 TDI which has done 69000 miles.
VW dealer is saying cam belt should have been changed at 4 years or 60K but the seller is telling me (and showed me) that the service book says 80K.
I've been quoted by the dealership £400 for the job and just need to have some hard proof that the dealership is right and the service book is wrong.
Someone has told me that VW changed the advice but I can't find anything online.
Any pointers would be helpful as I really want to go and secure the sale of the car tomorrow if possible.
Thanks in advance
Lisa
