What risk do I run by not changing the timing belt on your 2005 volkswagon jetta tdi?

On a 2005 VW Jetta TDI the timing belt should be inspected at 80,000 miles and replaced at 100,000 miles. Neglecting to do the belt could result in your car breaking down on you when the belt jumps, and further damage to the engine resulting in costly repairs. Since a 1.9 TDI engine is a high-compression diesel engine, it is an interference motor. This means that a snapped or jumped timing belt may result in having to rebuild/replace the engine which could run upwards of $4000. In most cases a jumped timing belt would damage only the heads but it is possible it may do more damage depending on the circumstances when it broke.
