When to replace my SEAT Arona's timing belt?

What is the replacement interval for the timing belt of my SEAT Arona 1.0 'DKRF' engine?

Hi J,

That engine has what the Volkswagen Group calls a 'long-life' timing belt with no set replacement schedule in this part of the world. It is recommended that it is checked at 300,000km or 15 years - whichever comes first.
