was driving from villa rica to woodstock when my car stalled. wouldn't start and had to get it towed to my house. fuc-king 1.8t's and the whole timing belt issues. checked the timing belt and holy f-ck. i have to take a picture and post it on here, its missing more than 80% of its teeth.
anybody ever changed a timing belt on a 1.8T? common problems? any tips since this will be my first time to change the timing belt by myself. scary ass thought.
taking off the head tomorrow to see the real damage. thinking that at least half of my exhaust out valves are history. who knows. only thing sucks is i have the 225 tt which means everything is a super tight fit. no room to work unlike the hondas everybody here has.
ohhh and my TT had only just now broke 70k miles so anybody out with a 1.8T that has around the same mileage that hasn't changed there timing belt, don't want to end up like me. i was planning on changing it at around 80k miles.
