The 2011 VW Golf has a timing belt. When replacing the timing belt, it is also common to replace the timing belt tensioner, idler pulleys, and water pump. Timing belts are located outside of the engine and tend to dry out and crack. A failing timing belt can cause a ticking noise when the car is running. This is typically a sign that You have low oil pressure or that the engine isn't getting enough lubrication. If the timing belt has broken inside, the engine will not be able to turn over. When the timing belt is stretched or is missing teeth, it can throw off the engine's natural rhythm, causing the vehicle to vibrate or shake.
