Volkswagen Golf - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 8, Golf 8, Golf Viii - Years 2019-2024
Part: Timing belt
Operation: How to know when to change the timing belt of the Volkswagen Golf

Although the timing belt is one of the strongest and most durable components of the car, it still needs to be replaced after a certain number of kilometers. And above all, it must be done in a timely manner so as not to cause further serious damage to the engine and beyond. To understand if the time has come to change it, simply manually rotate the belt within its "circuit" and notice if during this movement it tends to move from its initial position and / or if it has tension losses. If one (or both) of the phenomena are clearly visible, all that remains is to replace it with a new one.
