Hey:
thinking of buying an '02 Golf w/ 147K km on it. talked to the dealership that serviced it. it has had its regular oil changes of synthetic. the timing belt and tensioners were done at 100,000 km - but the coolant pump was not. Should I plan on making it til the next timing belt change on this pump?, if the pump goes while driving and leaks coolant into the timing belt, how long will it take to ruin the timing belt?, will the car overheat first or is it possible for the timing belt to go immediately after a failed coolant pump?
