Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • GTI cambelt change interval

    Can a GTI owner please check their service manual for the recommended cambelt change interval?

    I've heard conflicting info:
    120,000km/4 years whichever comes first, or
    120,000km no time interval.

    Many thanks

      I would really suspect it to be time based as well, as most cambelts are.

          I just went down to the carpark and checked. Its says to check/inspect at 90,000km and replace at 120,000km. No mention of time based replacement.
