I own a 2002 New Turbo beetle, and have been told the timing chain is very loose. it has 80,000 on it and seems to run fine...
No
The 2.5 beetle takes normal gasoline and the turbo takes diesel.
All BMWs have timing chains, there was 1 exception the M20 sohc I6 produced from 1977-1993.
It depends on the year of the beetle. If I remember correctly 1999-2004 engines have the 1.8 Turbo. Those same years also have 2.0L Non turbo, and the 1.9L Turbo Diesel. I believe after 2005 they stop making the turbo beetle completely and give them a 2.5 L engine. The other models of the VW brand still come turbo, just not the Beetle.
1.8L
no, the 5.9l and the 6.7l cummins turbo diesel engines uses a series of timing gears not a chain or belt. reasoning for this is the power impulse and torque created would stretch the chains or belts over time. The gears last much longer. All truck hd truck engines use timing gears.
Turbo models get up to 200hp
WHAT TIMING ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? STATIC SPILL TIMING ? CAM TIMING ? IS IT 407 TURBO OR NON TURBO ? JAY jbmdiesel@telkomsa.net 0837922103
no it has a chain which only needs replaced if you have certain engine problems ie the turbo blows up.
To start timing on the 2C Turbo diesel engine, you will have to locate or distinguish camshaft timing marks.
no - timing chain instead
firing order on a 2001 volkswagon beetle with 1.8 turbo is 1 3 4 2.
