My car is a 2012 1.2 blue motion and I am struggling to see if it has a timing belt or chain.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks

It may help members answer your question if you could state the engine code and if petrol or diesel ?
The TDI has a belt and the TSI has a chain I believe

Where would I find the engine code please?
And it’s diesel so guessing it’s a belt then. Looks like I’m forking out to get it changed then
Thanks

Service book or in the boot on the ID sticker
TDI belt replacement should be at 80K or every 4yrs I believe,so look in the service records it should have had at least 2 by now?

I can’t find anything to say that it’s ever been done.
I’ve had the car 2 years now so just going to get it done.
Rather be safe than sorry
