Oil pump belt. Have you replaced it? My 2021 T6.1 150hp 4motion is due for a timing belt and oil pump belt service. Kilometers 165,000.
 
Ah... The vw wet belt oil pump belt.



Well have to check the service schedule for that.

If asked the question...

Will find out the answer later.... It must be long as I've not had one done yet.
 
I'm don't know of anyone that's actually replaced one. They're under a very light load, they're quite beefy considering the job they do, and don't degrade like wet cambelts can.

I think the whole point - like wet camnelts - is that they're in there for life, difference being wet cambelts were a gamble too far and dont actually meet that brief whereas wet oil pump belts do.
 
In any case, the oil pump belt will be replaced. I don't want to take any risks, the car has now been driven 160,000km and if I replace it now I think I can drive the next 160,000km "carefree" without worrying about the condition of the oil pump belt. I don't know if it's too much anticipation, especially since I have to pay for or do all the repairs myself.
