For future reference timing belts get changed at 80,000 miles. No excuses. That's 20% within oem spec.
For context i bought a 2008 passat estate with 149,000 miles on it for a 27 miles each way commute 3 years ago.
I got it and did a timing belt change straight away which was preventative and for peace of mind.
I can honesty just say I’ve had an Aisin, Mitsuboshi, and a Gates, plus original OEM by this point in the cars life. They’ve all lasted the 9yr or 90k mark without fault.
Ich habe mal an einem Passat das Wechselintervall von 60000 km auf 170000 überzogen. Ging vollkommen problemlos und hat super gehalten.
Der Zahnriemen in unseren Golf 4 hat 21 Jahre gehalten :D
Beim Alfa auch so...Soll wohl alle 4 Jahre gewechselt werden, war über 10 Jahre drin.
Mein Polo hatte selbst 12 Jahre Überzug aber es ist weder der Zahnriemen gerissen noch sonst was. War mehr oder weniger auch in der gleichen Situation, nur waren es bei mir 11 Jahre mehr Überzug.
Solange der Zahnriemen nicht im Ölbad läuft und er nicht porös, erste Risse oder Brüche (auf der Innenseite) zeigt würde ich mir da wenig Gedanken machen, sowieso wenn deine Karre mit nächsten Jahr weg soll.
Just did my timing belt. Get the Aisin it’s only like $107 on rockauto.
aisin is the best! it’s got everything you need and it’s not extremely expensive. took my personal mechanic 4-5 days to fix it up, but he also had to work on other cars. aisin is always going to be dayco when it comes to timing because it’s the exact match from the stock one when the car was made
Era somente para trocar correia dentada e depois de eu deixar lá, o mecanico viu q tinha algumas coisas para trocar como velas, disco de freio e pastilha de freio q estava bem gastas(na verdade ja estava batendo ferro com ferro), bandejas de suspensão + bucha(barulho embaixo do carro),correia do alternador e da bomba d´agua, bomba d´gua, troca do liquido de arrefecimento, um dos pneus traseiros estava com prego e aproveitei já fiz o balanceamento,rodizio dos pneus e alinhamento e isso deu 7000 reais.
I have a 2015 Jetta S 2.0 which has stripped about 10-15 teeth off the timing belt.
