How much should a timing belt replacement cost on a 2000 vw beetle?
I have a 2000 volkswagen beetle tdi (turbo diesel) in need of a new timing belt and tensioner. parts and labor, how much should this maintenance cost me (at a repair shop -- not a vw dealership)?
Answer
I work for a vw dealer in indiana, beetles are cramped at the same time you do the timing belt you should also do the water pump because you dont have to repay for labor even at dealer rates with coolant, the belt and water pump this rarely works out at over 550 the tensioner is the single most expensive part not doing the timing belt at e
60k miles for a man
ual transmission and 40k miles for a automatic can lead to
expensive repairs, if the belt brakes or tensioner fails. i would recommend taking it to the dealer simply because they do this work e
day and are familiar with the cam timing and injection pump timing
