vw timing belts are notorious for failing, and when they do you bend the valves, and putting the belt on is 4-8 hrs of labor, so good luck with that ---

No he drives a 2.slo… there bolt proof, and a NON-interfence motor… yes the 1.8t are VARY sensitive with Timing belts… but not all VW motors are the VR6 with the chains can run forever, the 2.slo’s Ive driven one with 170k on the Factory Belt. Back on topic that is a clean car and a good deal. ---
