The Hyundai Getz is outfitted with a timing chain, which is encased within the engine and relies on engine oil for lubrication, granting it a longer lifespan compared to timing belts located externally that are prone to drying out and cracking. To prevent timing chain complications, it's crucial to maintain proper engine care, including regular oil changes at recommended intervals using high-quality engine oils and filters. Maintaining the correct oil level is essential to ensure continuous lubrication of the timing chain, particularly since many modern engines have oil consumption issues. Typically, timing chains are designed to last the entire life of the engine; however, at higher mileages, around 200,000 miles or more, timing chain problems may arise necessitating a replacement.
The gasoline-powered Hyundai Getz is equipped with a timing belt in its engine.
My 2008 Getz with a 1.4-liter gasoline engine has a belt drive, not a chain drive.
Absolutely a timing belt
They also have a chain located at the rear of the head, synchronizing the camshafts with each other.
Thank you.
In 2007, I bought a belt.
Timing belts should be replaced every 150,000 kilometers. Replace the water pump at the same time since it requires maintenance around the same mileage.
Please inform me when it is necessary to change the timing belt based on the number of kilometers driven.
