1.9 tdi 110 Cam Belt

[wiliferus]

Looking to buy my winter snotter over the next week or so. I've spotted a likely contender, a Passat with the 1.9tdi 110 (AFN?) lump.

Two quick questions -

First what is the belt interval? On line I've found both 60k and 80k mentioned.

Secondly, from a decent Indy, what should I expect to pay for a belt change and water pump? I remember reading it's a big job where a lot of the front end has to come off. Is this true or an internet myth?

Cheers

Thanks for the link Dr G, that's pretty competitive and I suspect hard to beat. Interesting stuff, although the car itself is £750. So, more worthwhile driving it till it breaks?

Food for thought for me. Ta.

Indeed, I'm minded to agree. I think I need to own and drive it first to figure out if it's a keeper or a scrapper. For what it worth it's got 235k on it....
