The VW Polo comes equipped with a timing chain rather than a timing belt, which is a common trend in modern vehicles. Chains are preferred over belts due to their increased durability, potentially lasting the lifetime of the car without requiring replacement. Belts, made of rubber, tend to wear out over time from regular use, necessitating replacement multiple times throughout the car's lifespan. Given the significant difference in material durability, the automotive industry is shifting towards chains for logical reasons. Maintenance for a timing chain is straightforward, requiring only regular oil changes for the engine to operate smoothly.
