but what about the oil pump that is driven by a timing belt in an oil bath?
will?
If it breaks, it's time to stop. |
We will have to get used to that. Other manufacturers are already integrating the water pump into the oil-cooled timing chain system.
It's simply a matter of "stinginess," not a question of technical feasibility.
As far as I know, all timing rollers for oil pumps at VAG come from Dayco, so that's why...
