Default Timing Belt?

Hey I just picked up a 03 Jetta TDI, its in good shape and just getting everything serviced. I've been told 3 different miles to change the timing belt: 80k, 100k, and 120k... Currently I'm at 91k. Thx.

Yes its 80k so your 20k over due and they do break so get it replaced soon.

I would suggest you join this forum if you want to read the info Volkswagen MK4 VW TDI DIY "how to" index for 1999-2003 Jetta, Golf, and 1998-2003 New beetle

where is a good place to purchase a new timing belt kit for my 2001 Volkswagen Beetle? I'm thinking of replacing it soon, its @120k and never been changed by previous owners.
