The high mileage timing belt kit includes extra components and hardware that typically are worn or need replacing, but aren't part of the normal timing belt replacement interval.
This kit has been assembled with OE quality parts by the best manufacturers needed for a replacement of the timing belt in the A5 Jetta TDI with engine code BRM. All components are rated for the VW factory service interval of 80,000 miles.
