Will it fit my Golf Mk5?

Belt routing varies by engine code (1.6 TDI vs 2.0 TDI vs 1.4 TSI). Match your engine code, not just the model.

Tip: filter by your reg on eBay's compatibility check, or match the part number stamped on your old unit.

Signs your Golf Mk5 timing belt needs replacing

Due by mileage/age (don't wait for symptoms)
Ticking/whirring from the cambelt cover
Engine cranks but won't fire (snapped belt)

Fitting it yourself

Cambelt is a timed job needing locking tools — most DIYers buy the kit and pay a garage to fit. Interference engines = snapped belt destroys the engine, so don't skip it.

Torque: Tensioner and crank bolt torques are engine-specific — follow the workshop spec.
