- Timing Belt/Chain ReplacementTiming belt replacement is especially important on all “interference” engines. Interference refers to the ability of the pistons to contact the valves if the cam timing is not correct. All VW and Audi engines ’99 and newer and many others are interference engines. Timing belt failure on an interference engine will always result in bent valves at a minimum and possibly major cylinder head or piston damage to complete destruction of the engine. Repairs on a 5 valve per cylinder engine(1.8T, 2.8, 2.7T, 3.0, 4.2) with a crashed belt ranges from $2800 to over $6000. VW/ Audi factory recommended timing belt intervals are listed as 105K miles on most ’99 and newer cars. We however, recommend replacement at or before 90K miles as we have seen way to many cars with crashed engines before 105K.

- Auto MaintenanceTiming belt replacement is crucial in the preventative maintenance of your vehicle. Recommended replacement intervals range from 30 to 105 thousand miles but age is also a factor. There is a lot more involved in doing this service the right way than just a timing belt.
