Does the vw Golf mk7 1.4 TSI have a timing belt or chain?

The Volkswagen Golf 1.4 TSI uses a timing belt rather than a timing chain. The belt will require some maintenance and You should replace it every 80,000 miles at the MINImum or 120,000 miles maximum. Over time the belts can dry up and break or stretch out too much which will eventually lead to trouble starting Your vehicle so You'll want to get it changed before it reaches that point. Some signs of a failing belt include rough idling, the engine failing to turn over, or a ticking noise from the engine. The replacement cost could range from about $700 to $900 for the parts and labor. -
