Is a toothed belt the same as a timing belt?
Hello,
I have a question about timing belts. I read somewhere that for new cars timing belts are called toothed belt. Is that true? I bought a 2009 Audi A4 2.0 TDI S line and have full service history. And the history says that toothed belt was changed at 109,831km. So now I don't know how to check if it was done or if I have to change the timing belt because now on my clock there's nearly 120,000km. Can I tell the garage to change the timing belt under warranty?
Regards, Evaldas

When to change my Mondeo's timing belt?
Hi guys,
I have a 2009 Ford Mondeo 1.8 TDCi When should I change the timing belt? I have 87k miles on clock. Is the answer the same as for the 2008 model that somebody else asked about?
Cheers

I just bought a Peugeot 3008...
Hi,
I just bought a Peugeot 3008 Active 1.6 HDi diesel with 35,000km on the clock. Paid €13,800 + trade in of 2005 Ford C-Max with 105,000km on the clock. Do you think I got good value? I've never had a Peugeot before; is there anything I should watch out for?
Is there a timing belt in it and if so when would this need changing?
Can I replace the climate control console with the nicer looking one that's in the Allure model?
Love your website!
Regards
