Hi can anyone confirm that the 2023 mk8.5 ST is chain driven and that the oil pump is mechanically driven there seems to be a bit of confusion as to whether the ST has the same wet belts as the 1l Ecoboost engine

As I understand it the camshafts are chain driven, oil pump has a wet toothed belt drive and the balancer shaft is gear driven from the centre of the crankshaft.
Search the site, there has been discussion recently about this.
Simply, always chain driven cams, the oil pump changed from gear driven to wet belt 25/2/2019
