Do You Need to Change Your Volkswagen Golf's Timing Belt?

I've had my Volkswagen Golf for a few years now, and I'm wondering if I should be changing the timing belt. How often does it need to be changed and is it something I can do myself?

Yes, you should definitely change your timing belt every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. It's a crucial part of your engine's operation and neglecting it can lead to costly repairs.

As an experienced Volkswagen technician, I would recommend checking your owner's manual for specific mileage intervals, but on average, yes, the timing belt should be changed every 60,000 to 100,000 miles.

While it may seem like a daunting task, changing the timing belt is a relatively straightforward process and can save you a lot of money if you do it yourself. Just make sure to follow the correct procedure and use high-quality replacement parts.
