Rating 5.0

My friend has a 2.0 mk6 Jetta and it’s been the most reliable car he’s ever owned. It’s only needed a timing belt and basic maintenance items and he’s had it for almost 3 years and around 100,000 km added. It’s seen multiple cross border road trips without skipping a beat, and It’ll likely outlive him

Pros: most reliable car, basic maintenance
Mileage: 100000 km

OEM Volkswagen Timing belt

For context i bought a 2008 passat estate with 149,000 miles on it for a 27 miles each way commute 3 years ago.

I got it and did a timing belt change straight away which was preventative and for peace of mind.

Pros: peace of mind
Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat

Mein Polo hatte selbst 12 Jahre Überzug aber es ist weder der Zahnriemen gerissen noch sonst was. War mehr oder weniger auch in der gleichen Situation, nur waren es bei mir 11 Jahre mehr Überzug.

Solange der Zahnriemen nicht im Ölbad läuft und er nicht porös, erste Risse oder Brüche (auf der Innenseite) zeigt würde ich mir da wenig Gedanken machen, sowieso wenn deine Karre mit nächsten Jahr weg soll.

Pros: lange Haltbarkeit, keine Risse

After sending the car for service to change the timing belt, tensioner, and the water pump on my VW Fox 2014 (brazilian model, EA111 1.6 8V), I got this noise for the first 5min the car is on, then the motor heats up a little and its gone, no performance issues so far.

Pros: no performance issues so far
Cons: noise for first 5min
Vehicle: Volkswagen Fox
