BWA Timing chain
« on: November 13, 2014, 10:01:25 pm »
Is the cam chain snapping a problem on the BWA or just the AXX engine?

Neither of those engine codes use a timing chain.

They are belt driven engines but apparently also have a chain! I remember reading it was mainly early AXX cars which had trouble with these.

This is worth a read to learn about the GTI engine
