6R 1.2 3cyl Timing Set Upgrade?
Posted: Thu Oct 07, 2021 2:30 pm
Hi,
The timing chain on my 2011 1.2 3cyl Polo has either jumped or stretched at 100k miles. The car still runs, albeit somewhat poorly, so I don't think it has done any damage which is lucky (I won't be turning it on until fixed in case it gets worse).
I understand there has been a number of redesigns of the timing chain set on this engine and the 1.2 TSI.
I can find lots of reference to the part numbers that are an upgrade for the 1.2 TSI, but nothing for the 1.2 3cyl.
So I just want to check, are there upgraded later parts for the 1.2 3cyl that I could install? If so what part numbers would I be looking at?
Or should I just go and slap in whatever VW parts gives me?
