If you are talking about the belt for the ac compressor, yes the heater should still work.
If the blower is not working, you will need to have the blower motor checked for voltage and ground.

Replacement of the timing belts is a critical maintenance item on most all VW's. Usually start watching the performance begining at about 70,000 miles. Dealer cost for the service is typically in the $600-750 range. Other parts should also be replaced once the timing belt is exposed. A timing belt failure can result in severe damafge to the engine, and can kill most engines when it occurs. Engine replacement is an expensive repair.

Just google it, theres vw vortex,vw audi forum and volks zone that have all the help needed.

80 000miles(120 000km) is recomended by the dealer but it's safer at 40 000miles(60 000km) its safer for town driving and cold conditions considering the diffirence between a cambelt change and a replacemnet engine and downtime.

100,000 miles

Theres a good chance that motor is ruined if the belt broke.. I'll have to do some research and see if its an interference engine. if so.. Ya probably gonna need some extensive cyl head work.. I'll get back to ya

Hi

If you can´t tell the diference between a Passat and a Lexus, I would leave fitting a cam belt to the professionals !


John.

If it's a 2.0L or 1.8l, you'll have to take off the timing belt. I'd suggest looking for a procedure on removing the timing belt and the water pump is under the distributor gear usually. Do NOT loose your marks, or else you can ruin the engine.
