Need information re the belt interval on the above. VW advise 5 years but this does not apply to high mileage vehicles, can anyone link to the mileage change interval?

2015 on 80k

    “People are caught up in an egotistic artificial rat race to display a false image to society. We want the biggest house, fanciest car, and we don't mind paying the sky high mortgage to put up that show. We sacrifice our biggest assets our health and time, We feel happy when we see people look up to us and see how successful we are”

    If your keeping the car changing the belt, waterpump and aux belt now sounds a good idea. ;)
    My 2010 GTDs handbook says 140k or 5 years and think for later models such as yours its changed to 120k miles.
    Changed mine @95k :)

    Regardless of the quoted mileage I would consider changing it when the warranty is up. Peace of mind and all that.
