Do I have to replace a Polo's timing chain?
Does the timing chain in a 1.2 petrol polo have to be replaced
Our answer:
Hi Pat,
There is no set replacement schedule for VW's timing chains, though the 1.2's is a known weak area of the engine so have a good mechanic check it over if you think it's getting noisy.
