i like my non interference vw more and more every day
what vw motor you got thats not interference?
vw's are the most notorious timing belt eating cars out there, at almost exactly 60k the belt just goes poof, if you make it to 70k youre on borrowed time, and your water pump is probably 2 steps away from seizing.
unless you have a vr6.

meh vw's are bombs for thousands of other reasons *cough*engine oil sludge that vw has admitted is a problem in there engines yet they wont warranty is a big one*cough*
the timing belt thing can be avoided by simply doing your timing belt and waterpump, together, at about every 55k miles, at least.
btw, speak of the devil, had a 2.0 golf come in after i went back to work with a snapped belt, frozen waterpump being the culprit, and bent valves due to the interference design. buh bye lady, go to an engine shop or the dealer see ya later. i get like two of those every month, at least.
intereference motors dont make sense to me, that and why dont they switch all cars to timing chains? those things last at least 100k

the old mercedes v8's have timing chains and they need to be replaced (huge ugly job) every 70-80k.... only the germans could make a timing CHAIN last almost as long as a shitty mazda's timing BELT
