If you own a 2004 Volkswagen Touareg with a 4.2L V8 DOHC engine, it will come with a timing belt system. Volkswagen is recognized for using high-quality timing belts on their cars, which can typically last up to around 100,000 miles before needing replacement. You may only have to replace it once or possibly twice over the vehicle's lifespan. A complete timing belt kit will cost you between $200 and $350 if you choose to do the job yourself. However, if you opt to have a mechanic handle it, expect to pay a total of parts and labor ranging from $700 to $1300.
