Bought a s/h 55 Passat with 106,000 on the clock. It has a vw fsh and the 80,000 mile service in the book shows the toothed belt was changed which is when they recommend the cam belt be done but i just wanted to check?

Best thing to do is pull off the belt cover and have a look -I bought a Passat with 102k with full service hostory which had a stamp from Arnold Clarke AT 82K that stated the belt had been changed. Decided to have a look myself and the cracks on it meant that it definetly had never been changed. Unless you have a printout reciept I would not believe a service stamp alone.

good thinking, i'm waiting for a call back from VW to check it's showing on their database.
