Timing belt replacement interval

[Burnerman]

I can't find any Autodata info on this one, and the car doesn't have a handbook.....
Seat Altea XL, 07 plate, with a BXE designated engine, looks like a 1.9 PD lump to me.
Any definite information, anyone?
Cheers and good evening

I am not sure if this answers the question exactly, John, but you may find it worth a read, nonetheless. It seems that it is 4 years or 80k. whichever comes first.

Cheers mate that looks about right
Job for me next year then - from that site it seems like a good idea to renew the water pump too......presumably because the impeller falls off

Audi which basically use the same engines it's 75k miles or 5 years. With the water pump I think it's a case that you have the cam belt off anyway so easy to change the water pump at the same time as a precaution.
