Hi all,
So I have a 2007 Polo 1.9TDi with 223 500km on the clock. It needs to be serviced in about 1500km.
Is it true that the cambelt/timing belt only has to be replaced every 120 000km these days? The previous and only replacement of the belt was done at 124 000km. It would be great if I can do it with the next service at 140 000km, as I can save up some cash for it, but I don't want make a foolish choice and then end up with a broken car.
The other thing I am curious about is my Glow Plug light (the one that you have to wait to go off before switching on a diesel). It randomly started flashing a few days ago. It flashes and then goes off after a while. The car hasn't lost any power and no other Check Engin lights go on or anything. Is this something to worry about, or should I just mention this to the workshop when I take the car for a service next month?
I hope someone can advice me on this a bit, as I am not the biggest mechanic around town
