As per title...

is the timing for this engine chain or belt driven?

If belt, what approx mileage would it be recommended to change it at?

Belt,
VX say 80,000 mate

had mine done at 80,000 with no probs, but only a VX main dealer would touch it

cost around £300 if i remember correctly

This question has been asked a lot of times here is a thread i started a while ago which should give you some answers.

er, um, the info I have says 10 years or 100K miles
However, that doesn't match the service intervals of 2 years and 30K miles!

I'll need to contact VX again and get a definitive answer in writing

Anyone who goes the full 100k on an expensive-to-repair unit like the V6 DERV is just asking for it IMHO.
