If you're curious about whether the 2015 VW Tiguan features a timing belt or a timing chain, rest assured that it utilizes a timing chain for easy maintenance. Unlike timing belts, timing chains have a much longer lifespan, often lasting over 150,000 miles. In contrast, timing belts typically need replacement before hitting 100,000 miles, depending on your driving habits. By opting for a timing chain, you'll save both time and money compared to the more frequent maintenance required with a timing belt.
The 2015 Tiguan is equipped with a timing chain to operate the 2.0L TSI inline-4 Turbo engine.
