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,

  • Bend valves?

    I haven't found a clear answer to this question in the forums....

    If the timing belt breaks in my 2013 1.4l turbo while running, do the valves get bent ie: major damage?

    I have been quoted a sizeable price by a dealer to replace the belt and am wondering what might happen if I ignore it for a while.

    Thanks,

    YES
    The price to do the belt is a lot less than a new motor Belts should normally be done at 105,000 or 7 years whichever is first especially on that motor
