T1.8 Timing belt

May 24, 2005 1 Replies

I'm taking a 2000 1.8L Turbo Beetle in for the 70,000 mile check up soon. Should I preemptively change the timing belt or wait until I hit



100,000? How much should changing the belt add to the cost of the check up? For that matter, how much should a check up cost?

Thanks.



Perhaps you would get better advice from the group that concentrates to the watercooled cars (such as yours).

We are aircooled, Older VW enthusiasts. As such, we by default "don't know" the answer to your question. (It doesn't belong here, you are in the wrong group)

the watercooled side of the VW newsgroups is at rec.autos.makers.vw.watercooled Hope this helps you find your answers.
