Sorry to bring such an old thread back to life.
I have 2005 MKV Golf 2.0L TDI, the manual with my car clearly states to change the timing belt at 120,000KM's.
I know the general consensus is that VW changed the intervals in recent years to 105,000KM's, what interval stands as correct for my exact year and make?
My timing belt was changed at 108,586KM's back in June 2012, my car now stands at 216,400KM's. I understand taking chances with not changing the timing belt on time is a costly gamble. I am planning on changing asap, however I may not be able to get my timing belt changed for another week or two.
I guess im looking for some sort of piece of mind that it's safe enough to drive around? If I am to follow what my manual states it still hasn't been 120,000KM's since it was changed, but over the newer 105,000KM interval introduced more recently.
Any thoughts on my particular situation?
