Does the 2009 Volkswagen Routan use a timing belt or timing chain?

Question

Accepted Answer

If you have a 2009 Volkswagen Routan with a 3.8 L V6 engine, it will come with a timing chain. However, if you have the 4.0 L V6 engine, it will come with a timing belt instead. If your engine has a timing chain, you probably won't have to worry about replacing it during your ownership. On the other hand, if your engine has a timing belt, it will likely need to be replaced at some point because all belts wear down over time due to being made of rubber. This specific combination of belt and V6 engine is known to be durable, and you may reach 100,000 miles or more before needing to replace it.
