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).
