Title: Timing belt kits for k04 gti
Post by: oisinc on July 11, 2016, 05:31:37 pm: Can anyone tell me if the timing belt kits for the k03 are the same as the k04 ones?
Ive a Pirelli that needs a timing belt etc and was wondering which one to get.
Also if anyone has a link to where to buy that would be awesome sauce :)

Thanks
Oisin

I have taken a look into ETKA, and ETKA gives different numbers for the timing belts:

AXX, BWA --> 06F 198 119A
BYD --> 06D 109 119B

But they will be 99,9% identical I guess...

Very much doubt that they would cover the cost of a engine, they'll just say it was fitted incorrectly but I may be wrong.

Don't get why people get so hung up over OEM parts from vw, vw have brands making parts for their whole car range from dayco, bosch, fag etc etc. only different is buying from vw you pay more for a part that has been took out of one box and placed into a one with vw written on.

You can't go wrong with the 3 branded belts above all top quality and I have seen INA and dayco belts on many of cars with the original belt

But surely he just mean if vw fitted the part and then it failed vw would cover the entire cost? Can't see how buying from vw then a back street garage fitting it then it goes bang and vw come along and fix your broken engine. That's all am saying, I maybe wrong :happy2:

When ever I've priced GSF against ECP, even with this high discount, ECP usually wins...
However CP4L is always worth a try for a bigger order as they discount more, the larger the order, and usually better both GSF & ECP.
(None of them are near enough to me to collect from)

Why? It All appears to be the same parts to me?

Post by: r5gtt on July 18, 2016, 07:33:36 pm: I got a t belt kit for £64 off GSF but maybe that's because I was a trade customer back then.
