Is it time for a timing belt?
A timing belt failure can be a very unexpected and expensive repair. The timing belt on your Volkswagen plays a critical role in the operation of the engine and ensures that components do not come into contact with each other. If the timing belt breaks, engine components will be damaged – often creating the need for a replacement engine or a costly re-build.

As with many consumable components within your vehicle, a timing belt will deteriorate over time – even if your vehicle only covers a low annual mileage. As timing belt renewal is based on kilometres travelled or time in operation, it’s important that changes are carried out in-line with factory guidelines – or even sooner in the case of older vehicles.

For further information, contact your Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles Service dealer, who will be able to offer advice and check the condition of your timing belt. If a replacement is required, you can be assured that the work is carried out by Volkswagen trained technicians who only use Volkswagen Original Parts, ensuring your timing belt change is covered by a two-year parts and labour warranty for added peace-of-mind.

For more information, contact your local Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles Service dealer.
