Quick timing belt question.

[The_Stig]

I may be picking up a GTI that has 92k on it. Its a 1.8t 2002. When does the timing belt need to be done on these?

Well its already a great price. He needs nothing and he is the second owner. So it is the original timing belt. Just curious around what km they need doing.

Pretty sure its around that mark.. Its suggested 80000 kms - 120000 kms... Saw it on the newspaper

100,000km

Tune dub said a golf (2L) would be 700$. I got a quote done for my car because its getting close to time to get it done.

Re: Quick timing belt question.

jordan you did it yourself? how hard was it? i'd just be afraid i'd screw something up doing it.. i want to do timing belt, snub, ics, coolant flush, seals, umm whatever i can think of while i can get to it

Re: Quick timing belt question.

Yeah I did it myself. It's not hard if you're familiar with TB procedures. It is a fairly in depth DIY, and one you definitely don't want to screw up! I would give it a 7/10 on the difficulty scale.

Yeah you could do all that stuff in an afternoon.
