servicing

Looking at a VW Passat with 77,000km on the clock. What should I be asking about timing belt replacment and/or air condition pollen filter replacement?

How reliable are the timing belts on the 2015 Skoda Octavia 1.2 petrol TSI? How often should they be changed? Any issues with timing belt on new 1.0 TSI?

I notice in the detailed UK specs for the Kia Stinger (which otherwise appears like a wonderful car), it says, both for the 2.0-litre and 3.0-litre petrol engines, that the service interval is a mere six months. This seems weird when many new cars with powerful engines have a two-year service interval, at least for the first service. What do you think?

Thanks Philip

I bought a Ford Kuga in Jan 2015 and have done 127,000km. I was asked to change the timing belt today at a Ford service. I Googled and found out that I can do up to 200,000km or 10 years between timing belt replacements. If that is so I could save money now and do it later. Can you advise? Mine is three years old and I service it regularly, at least every three months, as I am always driving long distances alone.

Peugeot 407: timing belt or chain?

When is the timing chain supposed to be changed on a Mercedes-Benz E 200 1.8 petrol? It's a 2003 model with 100,000 miles on the clock.

When should the timing chain/belt be changed on a 2007 Opel Astra?

What is the recommended service interval to change the timing belt in the 2014 Skoda Rapid 1.6 TDI?

When should the timing belt be replaced in a 2006 Hyundai Tucson?

What does a Toyota Avensis TR D-4D EURO 3, 2010 have, a timing belt or chain please? If a timing belt at what mileage does it require changing, please?
