[Vwdiesel] Need Some Clarification !

[TexasTDI]

All depends on the year model.

All 2003 TDI's = 100k miles between changes.  Auto and 5 speed.

All 2002 TDI's = 80k miles between changes.  Auto and 5 speed.

2001 down to 1999.5 = Auto at 40k / 5 speed at 60k.  New belt will be 80k
(100k) mile belt.

1999 down to 1996 = 5 speed every 60k.  (no 80k mile belt available)

1991 VW Jetta 2 Door 1.6 Diesel - 237k miles
2000 VW Golf 1.9TDI (turbo diesel) - 82k miles
