Cam belt intervals

[Mark Redman]

Hi i have a 1.9tdi Passat 115 hp with AJT engine code does anybody know the mileage intervals for the cam belt change ? I have asked VW dealers but they keep coming up with different opinions, i just want a reliable answer from people who know what there on about Also what is a reasonable price to pay to have it replaced, not by a dealer but perhaps a specialist? I am aware that its not just the belt but tensioner and water pump that have to be replaced. Any info would be great cheers

firstly i think your engine no is wrong should it be atj?
if so1.9tdipd 5yrs 60k and change idler
also may be good idea to change water pump at same time as these are prone to fail
