Newbee - Timing Belt/Chain advice appreciated...
« on: 02 August 2012, 23:13 »
Hi guys,

my 2007 GTI Edition 30 just had a major service at 29k.  VW garage say I should changed the timing belt (or chain) as it's past the 4 year period, not the 40k mark though.  I'm cool with that but the guy made me worry it might break soon if I continue driving it.  I'm due to do a 500 mile round trip this weekend and am now worried in case it fails.  Is this just BS from VW to get the car in asap or could I survive running it another 1,000 miles or so?

Appreciate your thoughts guys.
