Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    This is my opinion

    If you intend keeping for long time as it's a new car to you , I'd get it changed and fully serviced . Water pump etc etc.

    You know where your at then .....

    I'm sure somebody will be around shortly to say I'm being to cautious tho .

    I've got a seat leon diesel which has a vw engine-the recommended replacement is:belt and water pump every 80,000 or 5 years .

    So your recommending getting a timing belt+water pump every 35k?

    It comes down to how certain a person is of the past history / mileage etc of a car they just bought.
