When should you replace the timing belt on your 2000 VW Beetle?
Approx every 60000 miles. Keep in mind that this is a critical repair. Without getting too technical, if the timing belt breaks, the piston can stike the intake or exhaust valve, bending it. If that happens the cost to repair that damage is between $2500 and $3500. The cost for a timing belt should be about $350 - $450. Most of that will be labor charge (the belt itself is only about $80) however this not really a do it yourself repair.

You can set it by ear by loosening the distributor hold down bolt and turning the distributor slowly back and forth with the car running until it sounds like it is running better. Or you can remove the 27mm hex plug on top of the transmission to reveal the timing marks and hook up an inductive timing light and set it that way.
