Diesel timing belt controversySome owners manuals state to replace the timing belt every 40,000 miles.(automatic transmission) Others state
60,000 miles.(96-2000) Yet newer 2000 TDI vehicles state 80,000 miles.(after engine #500,000). In the owners manual of the
2003 Jetta it says 100,000 miles.
Older 77-91 diesels had a service interval of 60,000 miles using a not sealed roller
and a bearing tensioner with metal pully that you set the tension which needed to be checked every 30,000 miles.
Newer
96-04 vehicles have self tensioning tensioners with sealed roller bearings and composite (plastic) pully.
It would seem
that a tensioner pully designed to prevent stress to the belt would allow the belt to last longer. Longer than the original
proven 60,000 miles.
The TDI belt is only a couple teeth longer and the same width as older diesel belts. The 80,000
mile belt is the same price!
City driven TDI engine cars may only log 6,000 miles a year,
that may be the reason
VW required the 40,000 timing belt service interval.
The self tensioning pullies that we have replaced seem to
feel and spin just like a new one. The service interval on VWs web site calls for checking the tensioner at 40,000 and 80,000
miles but not replacing the tensioners or water pump?
We have customers with a 1998 and newer TDI vehicles now exceeding
75,000 miles and one with 88,000 miles without belt replacement.
We have replaced many belts over 65,000 miles.
We
have a customer with a 2000 TDI @ 147,000 miles, original belt!May/04
By now, 2010, all older timing belts have
been replaced. The replacement parts used increase the service interval to 100,000 miles. Water pump bearings fail at
115,000 to 120,000 miles and drop the timing belt causing engine damage, so it is not the belt at issue but the water pump!
It is your choice, search the net for more information. Forums at vwvortex
40,000 mile diesel service: oil change, cabin filter, air filter, fuel filter
$199 or less.
PERFORMANCE 1998-2006 TDI motors
Want to know more? Check the forums at www.tdiclub.com
Have you had problems accelerating? Will your motor not go past 4000 rpm? Then
you may have a coked egr valve with deposits clogging the intake. There is now an induction cleaning service to clear the
exhaust turbo of deposits and dissolve the oily chewing gum substance from the intake without taking everything apart.
Service includes 5 cans of chemicals, 2 for the exhaust and 1 for the intake. Oil additive and fuel additive. Chemical kit
and service $399 includes synthetic 5w40 oil change. It will run a whole lot better. Please call for an appointment and drop
your car off. No wait-on for this service.
99-03 Turbo 1.8t Passat
motors.Volkswagen of America has recognized there is a problem with sludging
of oil causing oil circulation to be diminished. Ultimately leading to engine failure. High temperatures from the oil leaving
the turbo and a 3.7 quart oil capacity of the motor are working against each other. Service bulletin now suggests using the
TDI spin on oil filter from the 96-98 motors to help increase oil capacity (which does not fit properly). VW is replacing
failed motors only if you can document the oil changes have been performed every 5000 miles. You will need receipts for oil
and filter purchase if you have been doing it youself. Link to consumer complaints about VW cars, click hereWater pump failures are covered up to 60,000 miles.
TIMING BELT JOBSIt is not necessary
to replace your timing belt if you have a 75>92 Volkswagen with an 8v motor. Unlike other cars they don't have valve damage
when the belt breaks. The engine WILL stop running. If you have a diesel or 16V motor. Diesels,16V motors will suffer severe
engine damage. These motors should have their belt replaced every 4 years or 60,000 miles.
The 93 to 99 cars may suffer
valve damage. 1993 and newer 8v gas engines should have their timing belt replaced @ 90,000 to 105,000 miles.

rollers serpentine belt, and new 045 waterpump (BRM motors) V6 Passat 1998-2003,
100,000 mile $1275, includes belts, rollers, water pump, thermostat We use NEW German water pumps with metal impellers, not rebuilt, not plastic.
Why would a VW dealer or repair shop not replace the rollers and water pump when failures are
common at 120,000 miles? It is not the belt at issue, it is the supporting hardware.
Severe engine damage occurs to TDI motors when the belt jumps out of time.
Extra labor charges apply
to some models and you may need or want other related repairs with the timing belt job
such as V belts, oil leaks, rollers,
water pump and motor mounts.
We highly recomend all 98 (4th generation) and newer Volkswagens
replace the water pump with the timing belt. Lots of pump failures after 90,000 miles. The impeller is plastic and it breaks.
Then the engine runs hot. Should the pump bearing fail, driven by the timing belt, you will have severe engine damage.
FRONT BRAKE JOBS
Don't let those bargain brake tv commercials sell you on the $89 brake job. First,
you are not getting new rotors, 2nd, most Volkswagens after wearing out the brake pads, have worn out the rotors too. 3rd,
the ability to stop has little to do with the thickness of the brake pad or rotor, but more to do with the integrity of the
hydraulic system. The Master Cylinder, brake calipers, wheel cylinders, hoses and metal lines. Of which none are in that $89
bait price.
