Replacement of VW Timing Belt and Water Pump
The VW Timing Belt, 06B109119A, must be replaced at a specified mileage. This interval may vary from 60,000 miles to 105,000 miles (in our shop we highly recommend 60,000-80,000 miles). In addition, the Timing Belt, 078109119J, must be replaced if it has any damage like cracks, cuts or excessive wear. If not replaced in time, it may break possibly causing serious engine damage. When a Timing Belt, 06A109119C, breaks, the camshaft stops turning leaving some of the valves in the open position. The crankshaft, because it's heavier, continues to rotate by inertia. In an interference engine, this will cause the pistons to strike the valves that are left open. This may result in broken or bent valves, damaged pistons, and possibly, destroyed cylinder head. When you replace the Timing Belt, 038108119D, We always choose the Timing Belt Kit 058198479, 078198479, 038198119E, 078198119, instead of just replacing the Timing Belt, 038109119P, only, because the Tensioner, 038109243M,078109479E, both the Hydraulic, 078109479E, and Roller, 078109244H, 038109243N, 038109244M,038109244E, 06B109244, 06B109243D, 058109244, are always just as important as the Timing Belt,06B109119A, itself, should either fail The Result would be the same.
And please don't let us forget the Water Pump, 06A121012, 078121006, with the timing belt removed it would be extremely cost effective to replace the water pump 038121011A, 037121005C, at that time, since it would be completely exposed with the timing belt and all the other parts removed and would have to be removed again if the water pump 038121011G, 026121005L, should fail in a short time after doing the timing belt job.
