Hello All.

I own vw polo tsi 1.2 90bhp 2016 model and wondering when to replace timing belt and water pump since the car has chain instead of time belt.
I have read that the chain can handle till 200 000 km but what about water pump?

Regards
Vinay :(

Replace the waterpump with the timing belt. Or earlier, if it fails.

You should have a belt. I think it's 5 years or 210.000km. Whatever comes first.
