In 2006 and later models of the Hyundai Sonata, both the 4Cylinder and V6 engines are equipped with timing chains. This means that the 2008 Hyundai Sonata also uses a timing chain. Many automotive experts believe that timing chains are superior to belts because they are expected to last between 250,000 and 300,000 miles, potentially outliving the car itself. If a timing chain were to fail, the repair costs could exceed $3,000. On the other hand, timing belts typically need replacement every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, which is a more frequent and less costly maintenance task.
