• Quick Question - Which Timing Belt for AAZ head on 1.6TD block? by Jetmugg on 11 Jun, 2013 05:48
• Before I buy the timing belt for this thing, can someone please confirm whether or not a "Franken" conversion uses the same timing belt as a standard 1.6L diesel engine?
  
  I don't have both heads (AAZ and a 1.6) in front of me for the purpose of checking the cam position relative to the head surface.
  
  Thanks,
  
  Steve.

• I'm guessing a 1.6 because the 1.9 displacement on a tdi and aaz comes from the height of the bore meaning taller block.

• It's the same belt. The difference us taken up in the diameter of the IM pulley.

• Thanks, guys.  I learned something new today (diameter of IM pulleys).
