Hey, was wondering how many other forum users replaced their MKV timing belt themselves, or paid to have it done (whether dealer or anyone else)? I'm a bit over 90K miles at this point and 10 years, so it's something that's been on my mind. The problem with these cars is the residual value questions the expenditure unless you plan to keep the vehicle longer term.
I'm not sure what I want to do at this point, but the car has been fairly reliable powertrain wise. It's the other stuff that sucks up time, but, again, those that have replaced the timing belt themselves or paid somebody else to do it, can you tell me about it? Especially if you paid somebody, including the dealer - how much did it cost you, and were there any issues?
Thanks.
