Hi all,
I have a 2011 GTI and have been considering some preventative upgrades for it. It has 68k on it now and I'm planning to drive it forever.
So, I've been looking at things like this complete timing belt tensioner kit from ECS. My question is - does that kit include an updated tensioner?
Should I get booked in to the dealer to see if I need to get an updated coolant pump also, since VW issued a notice about it and it's free? I looked on VW's recall site but when I searched for my VIN, I didn't come up with any recall results. But I've read that their VIN database isn't always up to date, either.
Any other recalls you all know about or preventative maintenance I should do?
