When should I change timing belt/chain?
Is there a recommended point for changing the timing chain on the Skoda Fabia 1.2 petrol engine 2013 or should it last for life?

The timing chain is designed to last the life of the car. As long as the oil is changed every 12,000 miles or 12 months (whichever comes first), I see no reason to change it unless it shows signs of damage or wear.

Decently built and good value. Cheap to run. Greenline models are very economical with low CO2 emissions.
