Timing Belt: Replacement & Repair Guide

Hello everyone,

Okay, please provide the German text you want me to translate. I will only provide the English translation.

How do I figure out my interval now?
Where can I find the engine number?

Thank you for your tips. How does that apply to a Passat with a 96kW PD engine?

hi

Since you're being a bit stingy with the information (like the year of manufacture, model, etc.), I've consulted my crystal ball.

Sure, here's the translation:

"e.g., Passat 3B6, from 2002 onwards:"

96 PD: Possible engine codes (-> check the service booklet or the data sticker in the trunk?).
AVF or AWX.

Both have service intervals of 90,000 kilometers (including the tensioner).

Since the 2004 model year (manufactured in mid/late 2003), the service intervals are 120,000 miles (approximately 193,000 kilometers), with the timing belt being replaced every 240,000 kilometers.


...or is your question about your Octavia and a Passat? It's not entirely clear to me.

Hi,

The question essentially refers to the Octavia!
Okay, Octavia, MKB:ASZ, GKB:ERF, year of manufacture: 2003.

"I don't have any direct data from Skoda; I only have information about Volkswagen."

mkb: asz:

golf, beetle, bora:
every 90,000 km, including tensioner.
From model year 2004, every 120,000 km (or every 240,000 km for the tensioner).

sharan:
Replacement interval: every 90,000 km (tensioner: every 180,000 km).

Actually, the timing belt replacement interval should also be listed in your service booklet.
If necessary, call the Skoda dealer and ask. That way, you'll be on the safe side.

"Those who can read have a clear advantage."
VW issues a general approval for a 120,000 km service interval starting from model year 2004 (approximately mid-2003).

You wrote that your car is a 2003 model... Is it also a 2003 registration?
You can find this information by looking at the vehicle identification number (VIN).
The tenth digit of the vehicle identification number (VIN) indicates the model year, for example, 3 = 2003 or 4 = 2004.

After that, your question should answer itself...
