it cost 500 for a timing belt repair my friend hed do it but it takes a few day half of my car has to be taken out..is there any easier way?
Is there any trick to changing a 2000 VW Beetle timing belt?
Yes, there are a number of special tools required to do it (if you don't have them you could wreck the engine) and the tools are specific to the year/model/engine so you really have to know what it is you need. Also, don't even consider replacing the timing belt in one of these cars without also replacing the horribly unreliable and failure prone water pump. IF whomever is doing BOTH for $500 its a steal. Let them have at it.
