Chat Timing Belts etc

[JavaGreen]

I pick Blueee up tomorrow, it should have had the timing belt replaced..... is there anyway I can tell if this has been done? Or, do I just accept that it has been done.

Cheers,
Paul

Receipts for the parts would be good as I doubt the dealer gets many FSI A2’s through.

If you are able to and know what you are doing you can unclip the cambelt cover and see if it’s a new belt.

Hi Paul,
It should look fresh from the box like this although on a diesel :

If it’s just been replaced!
Hope that helps

Most garages put a sticker on the timing belt cover or somewhere under the bonnet, especially if they don't have access to the service record.
