Hey everyone. My name is Matt, I have a 2001 VW Golf TDI. Its time for a timing belt change and was looking for the proper procedure. I picked up the Haynes manual but apparently its not very Good. I couldn't find if there was anything already about this topic so any direction is appreciated.

Hi Matt, is it a 1.9 non pd or something else in that? If it's the non pd then I think the important parts will be just the same as the ALH in the jetta,

if it is a pd then I think this one for the pd engine should be good for you.

Welcome! http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q/a4/ALH-engine-timing-belt-change-VW-Jetta-TDI-1.htm Read this, feel free to look through the FAQ for many more articles. The 2001 is a mk4 so you can refer to that section.

EDIT: Seatman replied while I was typing, your engine is an ALH, it's not a PD-BEW.

We have a place called Barrie too so I was thinking it might be a UK car in which case it might be a pd
