SEAT Leon - belt or chain
Read with interest your car review on the new Leon. See that you are still attributing the car with the 1.4TSI 122bhp engine and not the 140 bhp COD. Assuming that it is getting the latter engine I see that under "What's Bad" you state:
01-12-12: VWG's new, modular 1.4 litre EA211 TSI is belt cam, not chain cam.
I thought the 1.4tsi 122 bhp engine in the Soda was chain cam. Have they put a belt in this more powerful version? If so, seems to me one step forward, two steps back in terms of technological advance.

Big improvements in quality and refinement over previous Leon. Great to drive with sharp handling. Good value. Shares same base as latest A3 and Golf.
