Volkswagen Passat — TIMING CHAIN OR BELT?

MODEL LIST - (UPDATED 2023)

| Home / Volkswagen / List of Volkswagen Passat Models without Timing Belt

The Volkswagen Passat is a high-end sedan (D-segment in Europe) manufactured by the German marque Volkswagen. Historically, it has had a parallel development with Audi models in this same segment, especially with the Audi 80 and the Audi A4.

There have been a total of 8 generations of the VW Passat, although it is usual not to count the Bx.5 versions, so we can say that the Passat has a total of 6 generations. Its first version dates back to1973. It is in a position above the Golf. There is no Volkswagen sedan above the Passat since the VW Phaeton was discontinued. The current generation is based on the Volkswagen Group’s MQB platform, while the Audi A4 uses the MLB Platform. This means that the paths of these two models diverged starting with the A4 B9 in 2015.

Volkswagen Passat. Timing Belt or Timing Chain?

Down below you will see a list with all Volkswagen Passat models that have been produced. They are classified by model identifier, year and type of bodywork. Above each list, we show you a series of pictures so that you can have a visual reference for each model. In some cases, both the original and its updated design are displayed to help you identify them with ease.

In this guide you will find all Volkswagen Passat models:

  • Sedan / Saloon,
  • Variant (Family Car)
  • and AllTrack.

■ Timing Belt / Cam Belt (Correa / Faja de Distribución)
■ Timing Chain (Cadena de Distribución / Cadena de Tiempo)
■ Gear Driven (Distribución por Engranajes)
■ 100% Electric, No Timing (Sin Distribución)
■ Unknown / Not Updated (Información desconocida)

If a car model is specified in blue, it means its motor engine has a timing chain; that is, it has no timing belt. The rest of the vehicles marked in grey have a timing belt/cam belt.
