T1.8 Timing belt by A New Beetle Driver
I'm taking a 2000 1.8L Turbo Beetle in for the 70,000 mile check up soon. Should I preemptively change the timing belt or wait until I hit 100,000? How much should changing the belt add to the cost of the check up? For that matter, how much should a check up cost? Thanks.
