well the reason i ask is cause my auto teacher said it was a chain my mechanic said it was a belt, and if you looking in the oil fill opening you can see a chain right there

vr6 is chain it runs on the inner end of the motor between the engine and trans
you need to pull the trans out to do a full timing chain job

RE: timing chain or belt?

so i herd that if u have a timing chain that u shudnt worry about it as much as the belt & that it outlasts the motor. is that true? if not, how often shud u change the chain? (00 jetta glx vr6)
