Youve just logged on to the problem solver dept! most things just take a little carefull research and time! intervals depend on how hard you use the car! cambelt - prob not to diff but I have my garage do mine tbh. just needs small hands to get into eveything in the engine bay! lol! flat 4 is an addiction - watch out!

Oil every 6 months/7.5k whichever is first.
cambelt every 3 years/45k whichever is first

Would suggest going to the garage for the cambelt, with an 11 year old car you may find some "issues" with the pullies etc.

Thanks for answering my questions you are being really helpful, so how much roughly do you think i would be looking at price wise for a cambelt change also why the cambelt is being done should anything else be done in the same process is pullies etc?

Thanks Again.
