Hi I'm a happy owner of a 2006 Jetta TDI and am at 80K miles and need to replace the timing belt. I was hopeing to just change the belt but from what I am seeing it looks like I will need to do the water pump while I am at it, good times My mechanic quoted me $800 for the tune up but I have seen a couple kits for around $300 so if I can save a few hundred I am thinking that is the way to go I just want to make sure I don't get in there and realize it is to big of a job to do in the garage.

Happy driving all!

Here's the faq for your car, it has the timing belt instructions but you might also want to look at the cam shaft inspection faq too.

That is not a bad price if you don't have the tools or shop space. I rent the timing belt tools upon request so if interested, send me a PM. Yes you can do it in your garage.
