Volkswagen Tiguan - cam belt or chain?

I have a 2.0 TSi 2017 Tiguan which Volkswagen have advised needs a cam belt change at 5 years. My local garage has checked and advise that this engine has a timing chain and not a belt. Do you know who is correct?

Your local garage is correct, the 2.0 TSI uses a chain. The 2.0 TDI uses a belt.
