Hi all,
haven't posted/scanned through for a while and i'm sure this has been covered before, but maybe you are willing to give some tips.
I'm due to the 60K service (900 miles to go), which arggh, inlcudes the darn timing belt. Just talked to the dealership to make an appointment, but when I requested to get the 100K belt/rollers/tensioner they plainly refused to do that , they just want to do the 60K belt replacement. Is there anythign I can do about this/any official VW information I can show them that says, yes it's ok to do this?
tried to call the VW USA sevice guys, but they were just as useless (we don't have technical information...you need ot talk to your dealership). I'll check next week with the Santa Fe dealership (1-1.5hr drive, which sucks with having only one car....), but I think I had read in some previous posts that some delaerships are easier to work with and this is not the first time I had a problem with the ABQ university place.
I'll also check one of the local car places one of the vagcom folks recommended (got my own by now).
specs: 2001 golf TDI, 59124 miles (this morning).
thanks for your help!
