Hi all, Probably asked many times before but I can't seem to see the answer, i've looked in Wiki and done several searches, but had no joy.
How often does the timing belt on a 1986, 1.6TD need replacing, please? Thanks in advance.

4 years or 60,000 miles whichever comes sooner, I'm guessing thats 4 years for most....

Thanks for that information :ok.
Another job for my long list, mine was last done 5 years ago, about 30,000 miles.
