[Kish_garfield]

How many km do u cover before 1 belt change?

[Colin03]

you driving a skoda ? Based on your mileage achieve - is a pretty good car - any issue on the maintenance ?

[Jojoman]

i cover 80 000 to 90 000 before i change timing belt.

 

timing belt before inflation was $390

after inflation cost 550.

 

fot maintenance, since i drive a manaul, the gearbox linkage need to check for wear and tear.

and i also at shade most of the time, so no major breakdown.

 

other breakdown include are battery flat cannot start car, then call tow truck come and install new one.

 

next i need to swap my 17 inch rim to 16 inch ...

another 600 dollar gone for new tyres!

 

i love the car, cheapest conti to get in sillypore!

Used to drove a Octavia until changed car last year. Mileage was >170000km and aged of car was 6.5 years old then.

 

I think the car will last you another 80000km before the next belt change.

 

I had replaced the timing belt of my Octavia 1st time @ 85000km and 2nd time @155000km. Beside timing belt, water pump, fan belt and tensioner were changed together too. Things to take note and advice if you are to drive the car for another 3 more years or more is to have the thermostate replace and do regular servicing ie. engine oil, transmission oil change.

 

Happy driving

My Octy Tour just 130,000 km in 7 years.

Shall keep it till COE runs out.

 

Very reliable workhorse. Just maintain according to service

schedule. Changed timing belt at 90,000. Running on 3rd battery now,

which is only 1 yr old.

 

No serious hiccups other than incidental wear and tear which

varies from car to car:

1. brake hose cracked after 6 yrs - replaced;

2. roof lining gave way after 5 yrs - replaced;

3. door seals replaced after 4 yrs;

4. recently replaced aircon evaporator;

 

Fuel consumption maintained at 10km/l after all these years.

 

Next vehicle, if needed, will likely be a pre-owned Skoda.

mine is early 2007. better to be safe.. i don't trust used car mileage. 171k, time to go for second belt change, diff and gearbox oil change, sparkplugs, fuel filter if not done before. the rest i think is ok Scoobies are tough cars
