Hi Ann,

We asked SEAT Ireland about this and here was the response:

"Obviously we cannot be exact without specific vehicle information, but based on our market knowledge the vehicle is most likely from model year 2010 onwards. If this is the case then it would require a timing belt change every 210,000km or five years. If the customer presents any of our dealers with the actual VIN they can quote accurately with the cost of the replacement.

As I said the above information is subject to change depending on verification of the exact model variant Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)."

Hope that's of help
