The VW Amarok can have either a timing belt or a timing chain, depending on the engine type:
-
2.0 TDI Engines: Most VW Amarok models with 2.0 TDI engines have a timing belt. The timing belt generally needs to be inspected or replaced at intervals of around 80,000 to 120,000 miles, depending on the specific variant and recommendations in the manual.
-
3.0 V6 TDI Engines: The 3.0 V6 TDI engines use a timing chain, which is designed to last longer than a timing belt. However, timing chains still require periodic inspections, particularly to check for signs of stretching or wear over time.
For specific maintenance intervals or procedures, referring to the vehicle's service manual is essential to ensure that everything is in line with the engine's requirements.
