The question
Do I need a new timing belt for a 1998 Volkswagen Polo 1.4 automatic with 10,000 miles on the clock?

Hi Declan,
Even though your Polo has such low mileage, rubber timing belts perish over time so it's recommended that they are changed regardless of mileage. Volkswagen recommends that the 1998 Polo 1.4's belt is changed at least every four years.
Better safe than sorry
