Cam belt or chain?

(1/2) > >>

pandaman:
Just booked my GTi in for cam belt and water pump next Tuesday. They then rang me back up and said it's not a belt it's just a chain? It's the AXX engine but I can see belts and pumps for sale online, and I swear the previous owner had the belt done as I saw it in the service history.... anyone know who's right or had there's done recently??

Cheers

skkane:
It has both chain and belt.

ROH ECHT:
Yes, as mentioned, it has both. The belt in front connects the crank to the exhaust cam. True, it has its own pulleys and also drives the water pump. The chain in back connects the two cams; and allows the VVT system to adjust the cam position via the adjuster attached to the rear of the exhaust cam.

Octoparrot:
I'd be looking for a different garage TBH.

I think some mechanics can only see the belt that's holding their beer belly in place.
