I have an 02 Passat 2.8 4 Motion. I just had mine done at 95k and my mechanic said the belt was in surprisingly good condition. Although, its better safe than sorry. VW/Audi has had a history of premature belt breaks. If it does break say good bye to your engine. Both the 1.8T & 2.8 are interference engines. The cylinder will crush the valves. Use a private shop...I paid $560 for both timing belt and water pump. Dealer quoted me $1300!
my heat wasnt working all that great and then my thermostat and water pump went out.. took it to my mechanic.. not a vw dealership cause they wanted 1500 to fix it.. but my mechanic only want 600 and now my heat works fantastic
most of the older cars have a cable driven speedo but newer cars are elecitronic it could be the little motor behined the gages or the wiring going down to the tranny check the cheepest first
