In Germany it's 125000 miles / 200000 kms or 10 years for the 5 cylinder turbo one.

Belt driven mate.
Failure is normally down the auxiliary belts failing and taking out the timing belt, so I read.

You should always check cambelt/timing intervals before you buy anything!

Don't just take the owners advice on the interval. Check www.mytimingbelt.com they are all on there.
