VAG a shit
Probably the same reason they stuck the timing chain at the back of the engine.
They thought it would never need to be serviced and figured they could get away with it.
Cause it cheap just like Audi Xd

VW beetle engine fires
its kevlar you fucking retards holy shit nobody is dumb enough to use normal plastics as timing chain guides, especially on an interference engine
It still blows my mind that there are so many people that don't know about the mammoth ranges of blends plastics have.
Hell, a lot these days have a greater yield strength than aluminium or even some steels. Then you get ridiculous polymers from companies like sustapeek and shit.

ALL JUNK
They had to cut corners on something, and being the idiots that VAG are, they did it on a critical component of the engine
Fucking Germans
