I have an 06 Jetta TDI and I love this thing. Im just over 80k and about to attempt a timing belt change, brakes, and a transmission flush. I have all the gear and have read a great deal about the process on this and other forums. Wish me luck.

So its after midnight and Im halfway thru the effort. All in all I have to say things are going well. I have been following http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q/a5/brm-VW-Jetta-TDI-timing-belt-replacement-1.htm and its been really helpful. Great photos and excellent explaination. I have to say the remote hose clamp tool is worth its weight in gold. Unfortunately the tool kit I rented from BLAU lacked the triple square sockets for the harmonic balancer. Hopefully I can dig them up tomorrow.

You can get a set from Napa or Autozone. Just make sure they are seated all the way in or they can strip.
