Toothed-belt drive
The toothed-belt drive is identical to that of
the V6-5V engine. The V8-5V engine is also
fitted with a stabilising roller.
The components are largely identical to those
of the V6-5V engine.
Cylinder-head seal
The new V8-5V engines have a multi-layer
metallic cylinder-head seal already used in
the 4 and 6-cylinder engines. This seal
replaces the soft seal used in previous
models.

The two outermost layers are treated with a
special coating.
Advantages:
