2008 Sport

A mate of mine is looking at a 2008 Sport 2.7 diesel. I had told him to ask if the timing belts were done.
The garage selling the Sport says that they were changed to Chains. I still thought all 2.7s were belts ,but thought I would ask the question.

Cheers Jock

Mine is definitely belts (Just done at 7 years) and as far as I'm aware all 2.7 TDV6's are? I wouldn't of thought it was feasible to convert to chain either. Sounds like cock and bull - steer clear.

Thanks Dan
I thought that was the case but just wanted to check in case I was wrong.

Cheers Jock.

In other words they don't want to do the belts as part of the sale conditions, sound like the perfect garage not to buy from 2015 Golf R DSG
Gone 2013 Mercedes C220 CDi AMG Sport Plus
Gone 2008 2.7 RRS HSE

Not a reason to not buy the car, just factor a replacement into the price

Be aware of oil pump issues on the 07/08's too.

Thanks for all the help lads its much appreciated. As I said beforeI was positive they were all fitted with Belts but then started to doubt myself.

The pump was changed half way through 2008. Only way to check is to strip it down

Have thought about moving to Oz for the last 10 years. Too late now, married with kids, and the wife doesn't want to leave Scotland...
