Service Details
Timing Belt Replacement for European Vehicles in Medford, Oregon
A timing belt keeps your engine's valves and pistons in sync. When it breaks, the results are usually catastrophic on European engines, because most of them are interference designs. That means pistons and valves occupy the same space at different times, and a broken belt lets them collide. The repair bill from a broken timing belt can easily exceed the cost of replacing it on schedule.
Most European manufacturers recommend timing belt replacement between 60,000 and 100,000 miles. We always replace the water pump, tensioner, and idler pulleys at the same time, because these components have the same lifespan as the belt and labor is the biggest part of the cost.
If your vehicle has a timing chain instead of a belt, those can stretch and cause timing faults over time. We see this commonly on Volkswagen and Audi 2.0T engines, as well as certain BMW N-series motors. We handle both belt and chain jobs.

“Audi owner here that always used the dealership for service. NW Autohaus gave my Audi amazing service and went over everything like the dealership would. Jason put the diagnostic machine on my Audi to find out what the idiot light on the dash was about. Very pleased with the service and the price.”

“I called BMW and they quoted me $2500 and told me all this stuff was wrong with the car. Brought it to Autohaus and these guys fixed it for a fraction of the cost in a fraction of the time. Honest, hardworking, and they genuinely care about their customers.”

“Chris is a really unique mechanic. Rarely do you find a guy who both truly loves cars and is detailed enough to tackle complicated repairs. He took on a project of doing the timing chain service for the infamous Audi 4.2L V8. I wouldn't trust anyone else with it.”
