I paid $1500 to a very reputable foreign mechanic last month for my 2012 golf tdi

Dayco, continental should be fine, as long as it’s not China Amazon stuff. Gates it usually good but as with anything these days quality control is a crap shoot.
Pros: Dayco, Continental should be fine
Cons: quality control is crap

There is a fault with these engines! The belt starts to break up prematurely, clogging up the oil galleries inside the engine! First sign of this starting to happen is your turbo starts to get louder, then siezes. Happened mine just outside of warranty (42k miles). Luckily honda footed the bill and replaced the engine.
Cons: premature belt breakup, oil gallery clogging, turbo seizure
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mileage: 67592 km
Mine has been unreliable. The timing belt blew, both lower control arms and shocks needed to be replaced, and also both wheel bearings. Just my experience, I got mine at 130k and I'm at 155k now. Im getting rid of it. \n\n\nSo if anyone wants a c30 with a ton of work done feel free to message me lol. Its perfectly good now, fun to drive and I bet thats about everything that needed to be replaced.
Pros: fun to drive
Cons: timing belt blew
Vehicle:
Volvo C30
Mileage: 155000 km
