Want this question answered?
every 60000 km
if you mean locking,as in the fitting of timing belt,it is a round hole,inside elongated hole,nearest the bulkhead
I have just purchased a 2nd hand Octavia 2.0L Combi, model year 2006is, it has run approximately 96k km. My question is when is the appropriate schedule to change the timing belt, and is the Octavia like any other car i.e. when you changed the timing belt then it is wise to change the water cooling pump as well. What about the pulley and tensioner shouldn't it be changed together? Change the belt every 90,000 miles. If the belt drives the water pump also change it at the same time. You do not have to pulley or tension unless it is defective.
it says every 100000 miles in owners manual
In my old 1999 Octavia I TDI (81 kW/110 HP) it was every 80,000 km. On the current 2005 Octavia II TDI (103 kW/140 HP) it is every 120,000 km. The interval is increasing in newer models as the materials keep improving. On higher performing (and more expensive) cars the trend is the chain again. im looking for the answer as well, tho i think it is around the 80k mark on your car.
every 60.000m for most cars with belt is recommended
Timing belt. Recommended 90,000 mile change.
Timing belt. Recommended 90,000 mile change.
It's recommended to change the belt each 80K miles. Most of people change it at 100K.
I believe all vauxhalls are recommended for a belt change at 40,000 miles.
It depends on the engine type. On a 2.0 Petrol the recommended mileage to change the belt is 72,000mls, but you can always change it before.
You do not have to, but if the water pump is timing belt driven it is highly recommended.
