★ Top Answer
The 2010 Kia Soul features a timing chain instead of a belt, which is built to last for the vehicle's entire lifespan under normal conditions. However, it can still become damaged or fail, leading to immediate overheating of the car. Replacing a timing chain may cost around $100 for the part and another $100 for labor. When purchasing a replacement online, be wary of confusing terms like "cam belt," as some sellers may incorrectly refer to both timing chains and timing belts. Using a timing belt as a replacement will not be effective and may result in having a useless part.
