Do I need to change my Golf's belt?

Do I need to change my Golf's belt?

Hi, I have a 2012 VW GOLF S TSI 85 - it has 102000 miles on the clock and was wondering if I need to change the timing belt

Our answer:

Hi Hamza,

That engine has a timing chain, not a belt. The chain does not have a set replacement schedule, so unless it's noisy or a mechanic advises you differently, there's no need to worry about it.
