The 2006 Kia Rio comes equipped with a timing chain, which is meant to last for the entire lifespan of the vehicle under normal conditions. However, there is still a possibility of it becoming damaged or failing. If this occurs, you will likely notice the car quickly overheating. Replacing the timing chain can cost around $100 for the part and an additional $100 for labor. When purchasing a replacement chain online, make sure to differentiate between a timing chain and a timing belt, as some retailers may erroneously refer to both as a cam belt. Using a timing belt instead of a timing chain will not work and could result in having a useless part.
