Which Volkswagen 1.2 three-cylinder diesels have timing belts and which have chains?
Does the latest Volkswagen 1.2 three-cylinder diesel use a timing belt or chain? I am considering a new or nearly new car, but try to avoid timing belts.

Which 1.2 three-cylinder diesel? With VAG cars I have to pop the bonnets to check. For example, the 1.4TSI is chain, but the 1.2TSI is belt.
