Timing Belt for VAG 20VT engine

jonathan11 · 2007-08-27 10:41:45

Hi, Can anyone tell me when the timing belt should be changed in VAG 20VT engine? I'm on 55K miles at the moment and am due for a service this week. I know if I ask the garage they'll tell me I definitely need it done. Anyone know this? Thanks

AFAIK, it's 60k. Have you looked in the service book?

60k. You might as well get it done while it's in for the service. It will be overdue by the time the next service comes around - unless you want to pay an extra visit to the garage before then.

Yes 60k miles or 4 years, whichever comes first.

My car has 35k miles on it and I'll be getting it done in a few weeks, car is over 4 years old now.
I have this timing belt kit on the way from US

Here's a thread I started about replacement parts for a TB change. I done mine at 60,000miles
