    Almost every CR has an interval of 200-240,000 km
    Belts now last considerably more km, someone writes replace at 150 . 180 is such a maximum or 200 and necessarily change.
    A mechanic who does timing all the time or relies on one brand can advise, but in fact in a mixed cycle, for example, died 150 thousand km only who does not pressurize 190 horsepower belt as it smokes 8 l?
    In my opinion you are looking at the manufacturer, the only indication to replace faster for me is a leaking fluid pump. E.g. 1.6 HDi 180k km a common fault although the manufacturer states 240k km.
    On the other hand if I were operating in a small town j I would be the only one suggesting the timing to be changed every 50-60k km, and chains every 100k km max e.g. crdi kia cracking guides/slipping.

Topic summary

The discussion centers on the timing belt replacement intervals for 2.0 TDI engines, with varying recommendations based on driving conditions and model years. The manufacturer suggests a replacement at 200,000 km under optimal highway conditions, while mixed driving may necessitate earlier changes at 150,000 km. Many participants advocate for more frequent replacements, suggesting intervals of 60,000 to 90,000 km or every 5 years to mitigate risks of belt failure. The conversation also highlights the importance of replacing associated components, such as the oil pump belt, during timing belt service. Concerns about the quality of aftermarket parts versus OEM components are raised, emphasizing the need for adherence to manufacturer guidelines and service recommendations.
