Is a 1999 Volkswagen passat 4cyl Turbo engine a non-interference engine?

The 1.8T is an interference engine, five valves per cylinder ( just like a Ferrari) and you will bend lots of them if the belt breaks. VW recommends 60,000 mile or 90,000 km change interval.
 
Nope, break a timing belt on that wonderful piece of german engineering(spit) and its all over.
