'06 Beetle, 06 Jetta also '99 7.3 F250
At what mileage is it recommended to replace the timing belt? Do you need to replace a water pump at the same time?

Thanks

Not only that, if you have never had the timing belt changed regardless of mileage, now is the time. I changed mine at 32k because the timing belt was 8 years old (as per one of the outstanding gurus here) so age is also a factor.
