Hello,
I have a 2018 Skoda Octavia 1.0 TSI with 70,000km on the clock. I was wondering when should I be changing the timing belt. I cannot find anything about this in the user manual.
Thanks

Hi Ger,
The belt in that car was designed for long life, so the advice is to have it checked by a qualified mechanic at 240,000km and then every 30,000km after until it's deemed necessary to have it replaced.
Saying all that, if I owned the car, I'd have it checked much earlier, at 100,000km or so.
