80k miles or 128k kms. Water pump and idler should also be changed at this time, and any reputable mechanic should tell you this too. Its only another few bucks for the extra parts and a few extra minutes worth of work. They will have to flush the coolant at this time also to ensure theres no air in the system after replacing the waterpump.

How do you check cambelt on Volkswagen Golf iv tdi?

I need to change the cambelt on my '03 Golf IV TDi, but i don't want to do so purely on the recomendation of the local dealer, as I don't trust their motives! (I firmly believe they'll sell me one even if it was brand new!) Having said this,I really don't want it to break either. Is there a honest mechanic out there that will tell me: What happens when it does break on this (1.9 TDi) model? (I've heard everything from"nothin" to "mayhem") What are the REAL chargeable hours on this job? Are there any special tools involved? ( My best mate's a Landrover mac, and he reckons we could do this if we have the spec tools) Where and how do you check the belt to tell if it needs replacement? I don't mind having to change it, I would just like someone with a pure motive to tell me what the drill is here!
