Is it expensive to service the Lexus LBX?
Hello
What are the costs for an annual service on the Lexus LBX? I heard they are ridiculously priced.
Kind regards

Do Ford diesels have wet belts?
Does the 2022 Ford Puma Titanium Ecoblue diesel 1.5have a wet belt? I've heard Ford had a problem with these before. Also, can you tell me if wet belts were used in the 2015 Ford Fiesta TDCi Titanium diesel?

When to check my Skoda Octavia's timing belt?
Hi,
I've just bought a 2014 Skoda Octavia 1.4 TSI Elegance petrol. Car has only completed 24,000km. No indication whether a timing belt has previously been changed. Car runs perfectly. Can you advise when I should start think about checks /changing the belt please?
Thanks

Thoughts on my Golf's timing belt interval?
Hi,
Re: timing belt interval on Volkswagen Golf 1.0 TSI (Mark 7.5, first registered 2019).
Has Volkswagen changed the intervals on timing belts? When I bought my 2019 Volkswagen Golf 1.0 TSI I enquired as to the interval for the timing belt and was informed that it would need replacing at 240,000km or if that mileage was not reached it should last the life of the vehicle.
Today when I scheduled my car for a routine service at about 87,000km I was told that the interval for timing belt is either at five years of age or 120,000km. The cost of replacement at main dealer is a massive €700. I made a point of confirming the timing belt interval when I bought the car to budget for the overall costs of running the car while in my ownership. I feel aggrieved with Volkswagen if it's the case it has changed the interval without notice.
The cynic in me would think VW is merely lining its pockets. Am I taking a risk if I don't change the belt now that the car is five years old although the mileage is only 87,000km?
Thanks, Des
