Is there a timing belt or chain in the 2005 Hyundai Accent?

Question

Accepted Answer

The 2005 Hyundai Accent with a 1.6L 4-cylinder engine comes with a timing belt that is located outside the engine. This belt can crack or dry up relatively quickly. In contrast, the timing chain, found inside the engine and lubricated by oil, has a longer lifespan. It is recommended to replace the timing belt every 60,000 miles, while the timing chain typically lasts at least 120,000 miles. Newer models of the Accent now feature a timing chain instead of the belt used in older models. Although timing belts are less expensive to make, they have a shorter lifespan compared to chains, prompting manufacturers to switch to chains.
