How often should we change timing belt? (every how many mileage)?

I have Volkswagen Passat....Please anybody know, let me know? How much it normally cost? Where is the cheapest place to do this? thanks.How often should we change timing belt? (every how many mileage)?
What I have read says change at 100K miles. However, if it breaks it will screw up the engine. To be safe I would have it changed at 60-80K. On my Toyota I also had them change the water pump; it cost more but will save me $$ in the long run as I plan to drive the wheels off it and will save the extra labor costs down the road.How often should we change timing belt?

Most four-cylinder engines would be 60,000 miles unless you have one of those 100,000 mile no-tune engines. Mine cost about $500 to replace, but I had them do other stuff, too while they were in there.How often should we change timing belt? (every how many mileage)?
check the manual. usually every 80,000 miles.



labor is probably going to be like 4 hours @ 60.00 per hour.



plus the cost of the belt. hint: buy the belt yourself and take it to them. as far as where to go, I dont know, I dont live in your area, and I dont know their reputations. good luck.How often should we change timing belt? (every how many mileage)?
