I just had to have my VW done at 4 years, Skoda are probably using the same engines these days. They have another scam awaiting you - when you book it in for the timing belt change they'll tell you that you really should have the water pump changed at the same time - that'll be another 100 quid please. This is because in their infinite wisdom VW have decided that instead of driving the water pump off the fan belt like it's been done forever they drive it off the timing belt, and when they put in a nice tight new timing belt the water pump bearings will collapse under the strain, and instead of that being the half hour job it would be on any sensible car it's another 800 quid. I was sceptical but I googled it and they are right, it does happen. In the end I got it done under a special offer, 399 for timing belt and water pump which wasn't too bad compared to the original quote.
