Timing belt and Water pump problems
I just got off the phone with VW and was told, since I had a turbo I didn't need to be concerned about my timing belt or water pump at 90k, as it needs to be replaced at 160k. Also the trouble with the timing belts and water pumps are with the diesels. I said I had heard different.
From what I have read here, and what I have been told is to,.. DO IT NOW!
I am still under warrenty, could that be reason enough that they dont want to do it.
Suggestions??? Anyone?? Please.
Does anyone else have a turbo that went to 160k or there about, before replacing the belt and pump? Has anyone ever heard of it happening?
I am very concerned as I do a fair bit of driving, and Winter is on its way.
Thanks!
