Hi Chris...thanks for posting the article up on here. This battle will carry on for many years to come I think, although it does seem to have one set of rules for some and a totally different set for everyone else Watch this space as they say! Regards Trevor - Admin

Hi I would have thought the replacement intervals are actually recommended guidelines only. Its not as though the cambelt will snap at that mileage and type of usage should also be considered and taken into account (e.g. taxi's, etc). Waterpumps tend to fail due to running for a set amount of time e.g. 60000 miles but also again, whether stationary mileage (e.g. rush hour) or whether motorway driven but either way the pump has run for the same time as the belt. Bearings wear and allow excess play in the belt setup which can lead to failure (slack belt tension) The only other time I have know belts to fail are as a result of the water pump and /or tensioners going tight on the bearings. This has an effect on the belt if the belt runs over the pump/tensioner on the reverse side (e.g not the toothed side but the smooth side). This then leads to overheating of the belt and is noticeable by the fact that the belt has snapped and also almost petrified (hardened up) due to excess heat generated. VW Golf TDi suffers from this if the belt tension goes slack from specified settings. Good luck with your case...let us know what happens Regards Trevor - Admin

Jetta transmission/clutch problem
Volkswagen Owners Club replied to stanball's topic in Technical Help
Hi and welcome to the club! :) I'm not sure about your problem I'm afraid. I would take a guess at an internal fault with the gear box but that would only be a guess. How many miles has the car done?
