Recently bought an '94 of the above. 5 cylinder petrol model.
What are the service intervals for a cam belt change ?
Done 131K - any thing else worth looking at from a service perspective ?

I think about 70k so it's probably due it's second cambelt change. Worthwhile to change the tensioner at this mileage too.

Other than that, change the oil as often as possible, supposed to be 10k, but at a cost of £18 for oil and a filter from VAG I would do it at 5k.

Use the Bosch 3 electrode plugs. You'll get at least 30k miles on a set. I once ran them for 50k in an Audi 90 and wondered why I changed them - they were like new when removed. £4 each.

Make sure the airfilter is kept clean. Likewise, keep an eye on the rotor arm and dizzy cap.

Could be wise to change the fuel filter at this mileage. Cost about £12. Don't bother changing it again until it's done 230k miles. Which believe me it'll do without fuss or complaint!

Do all this at once and you'll just have oil and filter changes to do for a long time to come.

Oh yes, if it uses a bit of coolant, 99% of the time it's the header tank leaking around the seam. About £25 for a new one from Eurocarparts etc.
