80K miles or 5 yr for belt.

Plus you'd need to get the timing belt changed on that too if it hadn't been done

Not your problem or wallet paying for it when there belt snaps
Had to replace a timing belt on a Linde H20 forklift the other week, VW BEF engine ( 2 litre 4 pot SOHC )
Forklift had done 310 hours from new but as it had hit the 3 year time limit it was time for a new timing belt kit to be fitted on.
#18: Re: 180 Head removal Author: PugGti180, Location: ScotlandPosted: Thu Feb 23, 2012 2:40 pm ---- Ok well here's the update. Timing belt didn't snap!!! Apparently the oil pump packed in and the whole lot went Pete tong. So not my fault! Got a new engine so now need someone to change old for new?? Anyone?? Lol
