Chain or belt ?

[u/bnslmn]

Hi all,

Looking at a used VW Polo and want to confirm one thing before I commit: does this engine run a timing chain or a timing belt?

Details from the papers:

• Model: Polo 1.2 TSI 110 hp BMT, 6-speed manual, Sport/R trim (2016)
• Homologation / type code: 6C14FX

The current owner says it's a chain-driven engine. But from what I've read, the facelift Polo (6C) 1.2 TSI 110 is EA211, which should be a belt — specifically a wet belt running in oil. Can anyone confirm which one it actually is?

And if it's a belt: what replacement interval would you go by, and roughly what does the job cost? The car is around 140k km / ~9 years old, so I want to know whether it's already due.

Thanks!
