No chain or "rubber" timing belts to worry about!

The VM diesel engine uses gears, skew-cut for quietness, to drive the camshaft, vacuum pump (for the brake servo) and the injection gear. |
|
The drive 2 is keyed to the crankshaft. It drives the oil pump 1 on one side and the vacuum pump 3 on the other. This in turn engages the camshaft gear 4 which then drives the injection pump 5. The gears receive a constant supply of oil draining from the camshaft. |

This illustration is actually of the a VM used in the Ford Scorpio. There may be some detailed differences but it illustrates the set-up nice and clearly |
