Is the Jetta VS7 equipped with a timing belt or chain?

[DeCarlos]

Jetta vs5 engine uses a timing belt. Advantages of timing belt: Low noise, small transmission resistance, small transmission inertia, which can improve the engine's power and acceleration performance, and is easy to replace. However, the disadvantage is that it is prone to aging, has a high failure rate, and the owner's usage cost is relatively high, which may be very expensive. Advantages of timing chain: Long service life, low failure rate, and less likely to cause car breakdown due to timing transmission failure. However, it also has some unavoidable disadvantages, such as loud chain rotation noise, large transmission resistance, and large transmission inertia, which to some extent increases fuel consumption and reduces performance.
