No experience with the marinized VW engine ...From the site I have
attached, it says "
* Timing Belt – this is rubber and although no problem on the
shoreside engines, the marine engine belts seem to deteriorate quiet
quickly and snap.

As I mentioned, a club member has/had a VW marinized engine (not sure of
HP)....he did not realize it had a timing belt and it broke and
destroyed the engine. He had to repower.

Ensure your engine is a Volkswagen Pathfinder marine diesel 50 hp and
if the engine has a 'timing belt'.....some VW diesels have a timing
belt and when it breaks, so does the engine.
A club member here just experienced it this season.
