Believe: Interference and cam belt; V6 = non-inteference and cam belt [Note: This may be wrong; and likely may depend on region, model, year, etc.]

The 96 Golf 2.0L has an interference engine. Change that timing belt!
According to the Owner's Manual, it should be changed at 90,000 miles. I am still trying to find out whether it is an interference or non-interference engine. If it is a non-interference engine, the timing belt breaking won't cause engine failure.
According to the Gates website ( they make timing belts etcetera ) the 4.3 liter V8 engine in a 2001 Lexus LS430 ( is an interference engine )
