I've spent about about 2k on it since I bought it earlier this year as the bearings and brakes needed replacing.

I have a 97 with 147000km on it. As standard apart from oil changes and recent timing belt...

Didn't realise when I purchased it that it had a small leak in a radiator hose, so before I got around to doing any servicing/checking it overheated. Now it has a new head gasket. :(

Why on earth have you had to do 3 timing belts?

[superquag]

- The drive plate is the give-a-way, - you've been doing burn-outs & donuts :twisted:

[Discomark]

Why on earth have you had to do 3 timing belts?

1st one was done at 35k as the timing cover was removed while looking for a knocking noise that ended up being the drive plate but surprisingly sounded like the noise was coming from the front of the motor.
Second one I did after another 40k just to be safe as it was 7 years old. And the last one not so long ago after the outer edge of the belt frayed and I could see the damage through the wading plug hole with a small globe.

Ive got one of these but have never thought to check my timing belt with it.

I use it to check the insides of my bikes. Remove spark plug and drop it down the hole. Great for checking piston tops and bores with out taking exhaust pipes off.

I thought about getting one of them too but not sure if it would fit through the wading plug hole, I think they are 10mm diameter so maybe it would? Cheers Mark

TDI?

[jazzaD1]

the v8 has a timing chain so yeah its probably a tdi

[CU55TM Disco]

Must be the lowest Kay TDI in history! I thought mine was Low at 172K.

Yeah mate its a TDI and I have owned it since new. As its a second car we generally only use it for camping etc and leave all the camping gear in the storage system ready to go. This is why such low KM's and almost all of the 126k has been done while travelling to campsites and big trips like the Simpson etc.
