Timing belt change for my 2011 Passat

Hmm what flange is that? Any ideas of a part # or pic etc?

Yeah, that wouldn't be related to the timing belt and water pump, as it's at the other end of the engine.

I suspect it may have developed a leak later on, after the water pump, etc was done.

Worth replacing with timing belt and water pump in your opinion?

This is what I found from FCP euro my go to site for BMW parts:

Any idea if these 'US' TDI spec parts are compatiable?

Only if it's leaking.

To answer my own question the USA have a different spec diesel engine:



My TDI was a CFG based engine, and there are multiple resellers who sell timing belt waterpump kits (Bosch, SKF, gates, dayco)

I deal with SKF through my job, so I'll hit them up for a price. SKF have an excellent website, with install instructions and produce top quality products

Aftermarket Vehicle Parts for Cars & Commercial

I thought due to cost and labour it was best to replace the water pump at the same time.

Yes it is, refer to posts #7 & 11 that's what Umai Naa!! would have been referring to

Pump, yes.

Flange, if leaking.
