2.7/3.0 TDI in the newer cars are all chained. Some petrol models are too.
What's your budget etc ?
600 quid for a belt beats twice that for a chain.
My budget would be around 6kQuote:

chains don't last forever. a belt is designed to be changed as part of routine maintenance. a chain is not, so when it does require changeing it often costs a lot of money. some cars require the engine to be removed from the car in order to do the job. some folk prefer chains, some prefer belts. as long as a belt is changed properly, then it is reliable.
edit, as chris says, :)
jajaaj if it rattles. And how much would be?Quote:
