The bora v5 does not have a cam belt. It has two timing chains. The first is driven by a sprocket on the crankshaft. This first chain drives a sprocket connected to a smaller sprocket on a common shaft. This smaller sprocket drives the camshaft chain which drives the twin cam shafts. Both chains have tensioners.
It has a cam belt.
I recently replaced mine after 65K Miles on a 2004 VW Bora 1.4 after much research. Lad in the garage said one of the tensioners had a crack in it so he thought I ws lucky to catch it before it worsened. VW recommend 60K miles petrol or diesel
The cam belt drives the cam, keeping it in time. If the cam belt breaks, the engine not only will not run, but could be damaged. Make sure to change the belt at the recommended intervals.
Chain. :) Im A VW Mechanic
The same mileage as which the first cam belt was replaced.
It has a chain.
when should I change the cam belt on a 2002 VW Passat 1.8S with 48000 on the clock
60000 miles there is a recommendation that on a TDI the cam belt is changed every 40,000 miles
My local vw dealer told me 78000 miles
If the water pump is driven by the cam belt then change the water pump at the same time.
It is the name of a model of a car.
Bora have 2.8 VR6,and Golf MK4 have 3.2.So Golf maybe will win.
