245hp 1.4TSI / hybrid , chain or belt?

[darkabaz]

Bought a cupra leon from 2021 and 29.000km. I was wondering if the TSI 1.4 hybrid car does have a belt or chain?
And what is the interval to replace this? Or is it a longlife belt/chain?

Cannot find this in the manual and see much different things on the internet...

Much thanks

I think this unit is based on 1.4 EA211 engine, so the timing is belt-driven.

Yes, timing belt - see information at the link below;

Great, thanks. Any idea about the interval? When does it need to be replaced?

Depends who you ask Seat UK say 60,000 miles (100,000km) or 5 years. Seat España say 15 years or 180,000km. I'd follow UK advice as climate is similar, so they may use that as a factor for belt degradation
