If the timing belt has not been replaced during prior visits the 105k interval is when it should be replaced regardless of inspection. It should be checked at 60k and 80k for the 1.8T, and if there are signs of wear at that time replaced.
In a 2002 Volkswagen Passat the 2.8 litre V6 engine has a timing BELT
80,000 miles
Should be replaced every 105,000 miles.
I have 104,000 miles on my 1998 passat. 3000 is an ok deal, but make sure the timing belt has been replaced. I just had to spend $850 to get my timing belt, water pump and thermostat replaced.
The hall sensor can be found on top of a Volkswagen Passat engine. The sensor is placed under the valve cover next to the timing belt.
60,000 miles you should have it checked to see if it needs replacing.
You should change the timing belt on the 2003 passat v6 after 100,000 miles is reached.
you either but the special tools for the timing belt or take to a reliable shop that is familiar with Volkswagen engines.
According to Gates ( they manufacture timing belts etc. ) Both the 1.8 L - 4 cylinder and the 2.8 L - V6 engines have timing belts and are interference engines
After disassembling to expose timing belt, look for TDC and ATDC timing marks. Align them, allowing 43 centimeters. Set BTDC mark in like manner.
Timing marks are located next to the timing belt. They are the marks that indicate the timing belt is no longer aligned to the engine. they indicate whether or not a timing belt needs replaced.
