Probably been asked a million times and im going to get shot for not searching but
Whens the timing belt change period on the GTD?
Is it 4 or 5 year change period?
Thanks
:smiley:

2009 it will be 4 years 80k I was told from 2010 onwards its 5 years or 100k.
Below is what VW have stated at the 3 year point. (mine is a Apr 2010).

Thanks. :smiley:

Now this is strange, the spec I have for mine is 80k or 4 years and I've seen 120k or 5 years, I've only done 25k in 4 years so I'm leaving it.
-
What month is yours in 2010?
-
Mine is a Feb 2010 car, 4 years or 80k. Had it done a couple of months back, cost £399 at VW including the water pump.

I find it strange that VAG Cars with the same engine Codes:
Skoda
Audi
VW
All have different Cambelt change dates
At Audi on TDI's it is usually 75k or 5 years :)
-
Is this partly to do with there been two different engines?
-
Both Engine codes
for 2011-2013
CFGB-CBBB
Both 170ps
Same engines but different Time Period for cam belt change,That the germans for you
Even though there was a engine variation change in 2010-2011 were the EGR was moved to the back of the engine and built within the EGR cooler i think the timing belt kit's are the same part number so god knows ha
-
I swear mine is a CBBB engine, EGR is at the front, oil filler cap to the left if looking from the front at the engine.

Off the top of my head
CBBB EGR is at the front Oil cap left
CFGB EGR is at the rear with the EGR Cooler and Oil cap is on the Right

Nearly starts a new topic of why change it? I have had the EGR replaced under warranty as it was leaking.

I think it is more efficient for the engine to have the EGR/EGR cooler in one unit rather than the EGR and Throttle value arrangement on the intake manifold and EGR cooler on its own.
From 2010-11 The Jetta, Golf diesel, and Audi A3 TDI have a more complicated EGR system. The low pressure EGR gasses are filtered before being sent through the cooler and back into the intake. The high pressure gasses go straight from the exhaust manifold to the EGR valve and into the intake. The low pressure is used more at higher engine rpm and load. It's too new to know long term reliability but it should be relatively maintenance free because of cleaner fuel and less carbon buildup in the intake.

I have a CBBB and I'm on 69K and the car is a 59 plate, when should I get the cambelt done? I know a local mechanic who quoted me £140 if I provide all the parts, he's been doing cambelts on diesels for 20 years as all the local taxis go to him, will it effect resale value if I don't get it done at VW?

Not sure I was lead to believe the Earlier cars was a four year 80k limit.
