VW & Audi Timing Belt & Water Pump Replacement in Hebburn

Specialist timing belt and water pump replacement for Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT and Skoda at Banks Of The Tyne Motor Company in Hebburn. Quality kits fitted to VW Group procedures on TDI and TSI engines.

VW Group Timing Belt Specialists

Volkswagen Group engines, including the popular 1.6 and 2.0 TDI diesels and many TSI petrol engines, use timing belts that must be replaced at set intervals. On many of these engines the water pump is driven by the timing belt, so a failed pump can take the belt with it.

We replace the belt, tensioner, idlers and water pump together using quality kits, set the timing with the correct locking tools and refill with the right VW-specification coolant. It's the most reliable way to protect your Golf, Passat, A3, A4, Leon, Octavia or Superb engine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which VW and Audi engines have timing belts?

Most VW Group 1.6 and 2.0 TDI diesels and many 1.0, 1.2, 1.4 and 1.5 TSI petrol engines use belts. Some engines, such as certain 1.8 and 2.0 TSI units, use chains. We'll check your engine code to be sure.

How often should a VW timing belt be changed?

Intervals vary by engine and model year, and some newer engines have longer intervals than older ones. We'll check the manufacturer schedule for your specific engine.

Why does the water pump need replacing too?

On many VW Group engines the water pump is driven by the timing belt. If the pump's bearing or seal fails, it can damage the new belt. Replacing both together is the recommended practice.
