I can't find a definite answer anywhere.

My daughter in law is after a Polo bluegt around 2015 model.

 

I assume it is the same engine as the superb.

I have been told it is a chain but another website says belt.

If it is a belt what is the renewal frequency?

Can anyone help me?

My local dealer is hopeless so no help there.

Thanks.

Wife has a Blue GT and it is definitely belt driven ,  change interval is 5 years or a range of 40/60000 miles depending on which VW bullitin you read.  In fact in one of the more recent VW website recommendations it appears that mileage has been dropped and change is 'age only' ,  a 4 year interval advised on pre 2009 cars and 5 years on post 2009 cars.  We had ours done at 5 years on about 21000 miles. 

Thanks Boxerdog
