In this video, you will learn when to replace the timing belt on a Golf 7 1.2 TSI. Water pump, belt, and service parts are the necessary replacements for changing the timing belt on your Golf 7. But when should the timing belt be replaced? The parameters for determining when to do this are fundamentally two: 1) mileage (at least 112,000 miles) or the age of the vehicle (at least 10 years).

However, some vehicles may experience issues based on driving style and/or wear before reaching these deadlines, so it is necessary to intervene sooner.

Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
