1999 vw golf timing belt...

I am driving VW Citi golf sport 1.4i,every morning whn is cold my car couldn't start, after many attempts it would and when I try to accelerate it will choke. After buying the temperature sensor my problem was solved. the mechanics advised me to buy petrol filter and petrol gauge regulator and a petrol pump, thanks I didn't buy them. Only a temperature sensor made my car a comfortable drive.

No light for that. This is a fairly expensive procedure on most VWs so it probably has not been changed. I hesitate to suggest this, but the timing belt will probably be ok long past 100,000 km. My current timing belt on a Ford F150 has well over 200,000 miles on it.

Assuming you are asking are all Petrol tanks same size on VW Golfs... if thats the question then the answer is YES..The engine size does not affect the Petrol tank size only consumption (kilometers per litre/ or miles per gallon depending your location...assumed since you called it Petrol you are European) The different YEAR models would have different capacities and or shapes depending on configuration of the vehicle.. but the Golfs didnt go under much design change from 99-2002 so you should be safe if looking for a replacement.

its to my knowledge that vw have had problems with the timing belt going between 65000 to 75000miles, and recomend checking it every 4 years so if it hasnt been done yet and u have more than 65000 miles on it i would recomend getting it checked

between 65000 and 100000 miles is the service interval

if you dont know or are unsure change it for your own piece of mind

petrol or diesel,remove the sump and you will see the oil pump and strainer,remove the four bolts holding the pump and then remove,refit is reverse of removal

Most models reccomend replacement every 75,000 miles.
