When does a timing belt need to be changed on a Volkswagen Polo?

I have a 2005 (55 plate) Volkswagen Polo 1.2 petrol, it has done 67,000 miles.



There's no mention in the service book of when the timing belt needs to be changed. Also, do you know if the engine has a timing belt or timing chain?



Thanks people!

Good morning...



Right, in a VW (POLO) the usual time to change the belt is around 80000/90000 KM (which is around 50000 MILES or more)



So i suggest to change yours, or at least let your mechanic to have a look at it!



I KNOW there is a brand (PEUGEOT) where you can change the belt around 120000 KM (around 74000 MILES) because the belts are much stronger and of course different engine...



Hope that will helpful for you!

Sorry but I am not english so i do hope i didn't do and mistake!!!

Good luck
