The Volkswagen Golf 1.4 TSI features a timing belt instead of a timing chain. It's recommended to maintain the belt by replacing it every 80,000 to 120,000 miles at the latest. Neglecting to change the belt can cause it to dry up, break, or become too loose, resulting in difficulties starting the vehicle. Signs of a failing belt include rough idling, engine struggles to start, or a ticking noise from the engine. The cost for replacing the timing belt, including parts and labor, can range from $700 to $900.
