Things to know about replacing the timing belt of the Volkswagen Golf

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 5, Golf 5, Golf V - Years 2003-2008
Part: Timing belt

In this video, we hear some indications from an expert mechanic about changing the timing belt of the Volkswagen Golf (although these general indications are valid for all cars with a rubber belt). First of all, we must remember that the belt must be changed according to the timeline, not just the mileage indications; in fact, the belt, being made of rubber, deteriorates over time, regardless of the kilometers traveled. It is also advisable to change the water pump, which is located in the lower part of the belt circulation and is subject to noises and squeaks.
