TDI. 06 Jetta TDI. Oct 7, 2018. #1. I looking to upgrade my 06 Jetta tdi to a Passat. I've been doing some research on the new ea288 engine. 130,000 service interval on the timing belt is a good thing. I'm just concerned about that oil pump drive belt that runs in oil. What happens to people that own these cars up to 200-300,000 miles.
I bought my Fabia 3 1.4 tdi estate new in 2009. The hand book says 120,000km, it doesn't give a time. I understand that the belts fitted are made by Continental, here is an excerpt from Continentals website written in 2009 "Already today maintenance intervals have become a thing of the past for the 1.0 to 1.6-l petrol engines in the Volkswagen
Skoda Octavia 1.6 TDI CR 110 S 5dr. Dimensions. Length 4,659mm Width (including mirrors) 2,017mm Height 1,465mm Timing Belt Interval Mileage 112,000. Safety. NCAP Overall Rating 5%
the issue isn't really that the belt won't do 80k - it might or might not, but highly unlikely the rollers and tensioner etc will all survive for that long. I'm sure that the change interval is 4 years or 60,000 miles whichever is sooner. VAG standardised on this some years ago.
Posted 17 July, 2014 Mine is soon to reach 100k and this has a long life belt. I believe 200k lifespan, i intend to max it out at 150k. At 105k , next oil change, will check the belt ( see if their is any cracking on the belts teeth) and from their check it at every 15k
