SOHC or DOHC?

    Can someone help me determine whether my car is SOHC or DOHC? I've been googling it for ages. VW Golf 2009.

    VOLKSWAGEN GOLF VI (5K1) | 2008-10 to 2012-11 - 2.0 TDI - 1968ccm 110hp

    I need this info to order parts and I'm not the biggest car head. Even if there was a way of seeing visually under the hood?

    Thank you very much in advance.

    If its a 16v its more than likely DOHC.

    Not really that common to have a single cam operating 4 valves per cylinder
