1.0 TSI engine SKODA KAMIQ

The Skoda Kamiq 1.0 TSI engine uses a timing belt system with variable valve timing (VVT). Key timing-related details are:

- The 1.0 TSI engine in the Kamiq commonly identified with engine codes DLAA and DKJA uses a **timing belt** (not a chain).
- Recommended timing belt replacement interval is approximately **70,000 km** for DLAA, and for some versions like DKJA the interval can be around **35,000 km** depending on service schedule.
- The timing belt drives the camshaft(s) and water pump; camshaft timing includes variable valve timing (VVT) mechanisms built into the engine's camshaft controls.
- Typical timing belt specs for the Kamiq 1.0 TSI include tooth pitch of 5 mm, belt width around 10 to 20 mm depending on belt section (camshaft or water pump).
- For VVT or VVL (variable valve timing/variable valve lift) specific timing procedure, mechanics use alignment marks on camshaft and crankshaft pulleys plus locking pins/tools to set correct phasing. This is crucial for proper engine operation and avoiding valve damage.

A practical guide or video tutorial on timing the 1.0 TSI with the correct use of timing marks and locking pins is available and recommended for detailed instructions.

In summary:
- Engine: Skoda Kamiq 1.0 TSI with timing belt and VVT
- Timing belt replacement at ~70,000 km (varies by engine version)
- Use cam/crank locking pins and timing marks for correct VVT timing setup
- Follow precise alignment and torque specs during timing belt service for safe and optimal engine running.
