Yep and if you look closely, just to add to the joy of whoever has to repair this piece of crap when the tensioners and chains wear, practically none of those fixings are the same size or even the same type. The older VDub made V6 VW Amarock utes over here use a similar setup as the 3.0 liter V6 diesel in them comes from Audi.

The newer ones are Rangers in disguise. Mind you the Ford Lion V6 diesel has had it's share of issues too. But at least it has a simple dry timing belt accessible from the front of the engine.
