2003 Octavia TDI

What's the timing belt like to do on these?

Looking to buy for a family member but the car's from a trader.

No mention of a belt change in the book @ 100k+ so need to factor a belt change in.

I'd rather do the belt myself so a decent one gets fitted.

If I buy, will probably do oil and filters as well.

Nigh on just the same as the other TDi / PD engines you are used to.....the tensioners are the same but the roller guides are different, depending on the 3 letter engine designation code.
