In addition, we're here to tackle some of the most common issues that might come up with your Volkswagen:
- You'll need to replace the timing belt, water pump and tensioner at around 60 to 75,000 miles. This is very important on the 1.8t engines. Failure to replace the timing belt before it breaks is certain to cause extensive engine damage. Often, it's the bearings in the tensioners or water pump that fail first, which cause major damage to the belt.
- There are common oil leaks in the cam chain tensioner gaskets and cam plugs on the cylinder heads. The leaks are most noticable because they tend to drip on the exhaust causing a very distinct and bad smell. These are common to both 4 cyls and 6cyl engines.
- Front end suspension repairs are common on Volkswagens, addressing worn control arms that clunk while driving through ripples in rough drive ways.
