When does my timing belt need changing?
I have a SEAT Ibiza 1.2. When does timing belt need changing? It was never changed before.

Most belt failures we hear about are between 50,000-100,000 miles. That's why we recommend replacing the cam belt, tensioner and water pump every 50,000-60,000 miles or five years (whichever comes first).
