Hi All
My ST3 is as standard as possible, a 2017 with now 80k (miles) on the clock so its time to change the timing belt.
Im getting together the parts to change my timing belt and water pump, and as part of this Im thinking as the engine is being stripped down this far, why not change the oil drive belt at the same time, as if the belt needs to be changed as part of a long term maintenance 'program' I would have to take off all the same parts in order to just change the pump belt right?
So can I have pointers or some advice from anyone would has changed their pump belt, at this point Im even struggling on the 'normal' webshops to even purchase the belt!?

Thanks in advance

No problem, had to double check when the mk8 released in the UK because apparently the 1.5L does use an oil pump drive belt.
