Guys,
I've got a 2005 Jetta Wagon that's going to need the timing belt changed soon. I'm pretty comfortable working on cars but have a couple of questions. I downloaded the guide on replacing the timing belt on an A4 but the pictures don't look like my engine. Does anyone know if there are many differences between what is pictured and a BEW coded engine?
Does anyone have a recommendation on where to purchase a timing belt kit? I've dealt with IMPEX before, but are there others to consider?
Also, If anyone has any tool links that would be helpful, please post them.
Do I need a VAG-COM? If so, I don't mind purchasing it because my overall cost would still be cheaper than the dealer.
And if anyone has any tips, tricks, or suggestions to share, please post them. Thanks!
Eric
