Hello,
I am inching, ever so slowly, towards buying one of these things (not the 2024 model) and have gone from thinking that the 2.0L engine and wet belt setup is to be avoided like the plague (based on some people's feedback) to deciding that actually I probably will go for a 2.0L model; based on the sheer presence / number of them.
Part of the shift in thinking is that the new version, as far as I understand, has just lifted the engine across i.e. it's a new body but with the same engines. I do however want to check whether that includes the same timing belt setup, if anybody knows?
The reason I ask is that I am aware, for example, that it is possible to retro fit a chain to the previous 2.0L engine and so I wondered whether this or similar might have happened. And the reason this is important, to me, is that I just can't see that if the previous engine was such a disaster that it would have been carried forward unchanged.
Any guidance on this would be much appreciated.
