FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How often should a cambelt be changed?
Intervals vary by engine. Many VAG engines need replacement at 60,000 to 80,000 miles or every 5 years, whichever comes first.
Should I replace the water pump with the cambelt?
On most VAG engines, yes. The pump runs off the belt and replacing it now saves labour later.
What happens if a cambelt snaps?
On interference engines, valves hit pistons and the engine can be written off. Never run past the recommended interval.
