Why change the cambelt when it can be visual verified? See post #11. It's not a starship engine, it's a simply belt. I will extend my search to see if Seat Germany has this policy regarding timing belt. I understand, UK Seat has employees and they must be paid. So every penny is welcomed. Wish...
Just one question:
Who do I trust: the manual made by those who build the car or the dealers? For your correct knowledge and soul peace, try to send an email to SEAT Spain, ask them about this cambelt change and their answer will be the one you should trust. No comment.
( This cambelt change at...
I read daily VW, Skoda, Seat forums from Romania, UK, France, Italy, Germany and Russia. I didn't find until now one single case of broken timing belt. See how to check the belt.
I post a link to Seat manuals:

You will find many manuals and answers to your problems. There is one major problem: you have to read them. These manuals are made by those who made the cars, not by Seat representatives...
Hi,
I think that if you try to use this link:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1M4ofxxMgsFjE7hNWg6l4KuifelmdMUu0
you will find many manuals, including Maintenance manual, in which you will find a table with service intervals and when to replace the cam belt. Have a nice day.
@GTunney,
I have the same engine on my Skoda Octavia 3, !.4 TSI 103kw, code CHPA. In the maintenance manual, for our engines, it 's not specified this interval for changing the timing belt. Probably, the dealers and the guys from auto workshops know better than those who built the car and made...
@ andrewpain,
Hello,
Please, can you send me Seat Leon ST owners manual on this e-mail address: "[email protected]". I can't send you a PM, so I use this way. Thank you in advance for your answer and time. Have a nice day.
@seastormer,
Yes, I think you're right. My intention is to keep this car for minimum 6-7 years, so I take care of engine by using high octane. I am not interested for more power, I am 50 years old so I have a peaceful driving style. That "min.95 RON" is marketing, it helps selling cars, that's...
I didn't understood why ONLY Skoda write in owner manual that using higher octane brings a few hp and low consumption and the other VAG manuals didn't mention about this increase hp/decrease consumption. I also feel this improvement, even though my engine has only 140 hp.
@andycupra: You are...
Hi,
I have a little dilemma. I read the Seat, Audi, VW owner manuals, forums from UK, France, Italy, Germany referring the recommended (best) petrol for your engine. The fuel with a higher RON can be used with no problems, but nothing about any benefits using this high octane. In my Skoda owner...
Hello Lucifer, can you help me with my problem, that I posted at #48? Thank you for your time.
PS. I can't post a video with that noise because I am new on this forum and I haven't the right to post URL.
Hi ,
Two months ago, I bought a Skoda Octavia 1.4 TSI 140 HP and since then, every morning (since day 1) when I start the engine first time or when the engine is cold (after 4-5 hours), I hear a strange(whining) noise (less than 1 sec.). I searched the forums in my country for people who have...
