I've got 86k on my (bought used) Jetta. I know it's time for a timing belt but I have a choice to make...
I'm going on vacation (in the car) on Thursday and will put another couple thousand miles on it (total for the trip).
Should I burn the first day of my vacation doing the belt - or can it wait until I get back? I had a Honda belt give out on me in < 10k over the service interval so I'm wary of delaying this. On the other hand, the interval on this thing *was* 100k before being reduced to 80k - and we've got another new guy on here that sounds like he's got 118k on the original belt!
Has anyone ever heard of a belt failing at < 90k?
Thanks!!
