Timing belt manufacturers recommend replacing timing belts every 60,000 miles. In the case of a volkswagon I would never exceed that milage. The water pumps on volkswagon engines have plastic impellars, and they are very prone to failure. I have seen them fail at 50,000 miles on several occasions. The water pump is driven by the timing belt so both should be changed at the same time. EVERY TIME.

TaigaThe timing belt should be changed at 60k. You should replace the tb, tensioner, water pump, thermostat, cam, crank and imtermediate seals. If you have more than 80k and never changed tb you can trash your engine at ANY time (almost happened to me) as it is an interference engine where the valves will crash through the pistons (VWOA doesnt bother to mention this) A thorough mechanic like me would run about 6-700 bucks, With all German parts.
